Garage strategy consultation feedback

Moving forward

Any redevelopment plans of identified garage sites, is unlikely to happen for a number of years. We want to assure residents that should development plans go ahead, there will be further consultation with garage-renters, and surrounding residents, of the identified site.

From listening to resident’s concerns, we also want to assure residents that:

  • If a resident rents a garage at a site that is up for redevelopment, the resident will be given the option to transfer to another garage site in the Borough 
  • Should a garage site be developed to storage facilities, the rent will be the same as market price
  • The Council is committed to building new affordable homes to support local people, with a target of delivering 125 additional Council-owned homes withing the next 5 years. The garages sites that may be redeveloped could help achieve this target.
