Council garages

Finding a Garage
'Finding a Garage' is our new choice based
garage allocations scheme, designed to allow you to make the
decision about where you want to rent a garage.
How does the new garage allocations scheme
work?
All available garages will be advertised weekly,
every Wednesday. Each advert tells you the garage's location
- Computers are available for you to use in Marmion House's
reception. Staff will be on hand to assist you if you need
help.
Step I: Register on the
waiting list. You
will receive an instant garage application number
Step 2: Express your interest
– place a bid against any of the garages you are interested in,
using your garage application number
Step 3: If you
are at the top of the bidding short list you will be contacted.
Please note all current or former council rent accounts held
must be clear otherwise your bid will be automatically
discounted.
Step 4: You will be given 48
hours to view the garage. You will need to verify your personal
details to us: name, address, any disability you may have and
vehicle registration documents of the vehicle you intend to keep in
the garage.
Once these have been checked a date will be
agreed with you to sign the garage tenancy agreement and collect
the keys.
If you have forgotten your registration number
please call the Void & Allocation team. 709520 (Monday to
Friday 9am to 5pm)
