For the first time, our garages can now officially be used for general storage as well as for parking vehicles, and there are currently 169 available.
If you are looking for a garage to rent in a convenient part of the city, we can offer lots of choice. Perhaps you need to free up some space or declutter your house? If so, you can now store items such as furniture, carpets, toys and tools in our garages.
Anyone can rent one of our garages at a competitive rate of £31.78 per week and there are discounts available so please see our website for details.
Important restrictions remain to keep garage sites safe for everyone. Items that must not be stored include:
- Flammable materials (such as petrol, diesel or gas canisters),
- Electric scooters or e-bikes,
- Refrigerators, freezers or perishable goods,
- Fireworks or other explosive materials,
- Any goods or activities that are illegal or likely to cause a nuisance to others.
Garages also cannot be used as workshops, charging stations or living spaces.
Councillor Beth Jones, cabinet member for housing, said:
" We know that many people are looking for extra storage space, whether that's to free up a spare room, keep tools secure, or simply declutter. By allowing garages to be used for storage, we hope to offer a practical and affordable solution that suits a range of needs across the city."
