September 2011.  Council Members approved the principle of the disposal of 26 under used garage sites across the Borough to partner registered housing providers to develop affordable housing.  Everyone who rents a garage has been written to and given as much notice as possible to inform them of the planned changes. Customers have the opportunity to rent an alternative garage.

November 2011.  Council Members approved management and investment options for the remaining 63 garage sites.

Consultation meeting held with local residents in areas covered in Phase 1 and plans for affordable housing on garage sites to be disposed of from housing providers.

December 2011.  Confirmation sent to all garage customers of the sites planned for disposal and retaining.

The Tenants Consultative Group (TCG) is due to discuss a programme of improvements to be made and prioritising these which will focus on guttering, painting, numbering, as well as door and roof replacements where necessary.

Further events will be arranged as more details become finalised.
