Council garages

We have locations throughout the borough where you can rent a council garage. Anyone can apply, as long as you live in Dudley borough.

Following a review of all garage stock there have been significant changes in how we manage our garages:

Rent levels have increased to bring them in line with neighbouring Councils, ensuring that the costs of maintenance and management are covered. Rent levels are now £12.58 per week for Council tenants and £15.10 per week for private tenants. There are a small number of newly built garages, with improved space standards, where the rent is £15.30 per week for Council tenants and £18.36 per week for private tenants
Garages were previously only to be used for the purpose of storing a motor vehicle and items related to domestic vehicle maintenance. Following the review, we are changing the tenancy conditions to reflect the reality that many modern cars will no longer fit in the garages. We will be allowing the garages to be used to store other items (exclusions will apply for anything that is highly flammable or harmful substances)

If you are interested in renting a garage please send your contact details to CommunityHousingAssistants@dudley.gov.uk and we will arrange to send an application form and discuss which garages are available in your preferred areas.

We will shortly be accepting applications online via MyDudley and by telephone via Dudley Council Plus.

Other parking options for tenants

A car hard standing space is a designated parking space that allows you to park off-road on your property.

For the construction of a hard standing, you will need to seek permission and to meet the costs yourself.

To apply, you will need to:

get written consent from your local Housing Manager. You can make an appointment to meet with them by calling 0300 555 2345
request approval from the Directorate of Place

Conditions for the construction of a hard standing space include:

The hard standing should consist of a hardcore base. It should be finished with either slabs, concrete, or tarmac.
You must not drive across a grass verge to reach it.
Any altered wall, fence, or hedge to allow access must be made good.
You are responsible as the tenant for all costs and permissions.
You are responsible for the maintenance as long as you are using it and living at the property it relates to.
We have the right to request the removal of the hard standing if it is not good enough quality or maintained. This will be at cost to you.

There are some restrictions in place when parking on estates. Your tenancy conditions contain these restrictions. They apply to yourselves, visitors or anyone else living at your property.

You must not park on a grass verge of other open space.
You must not build a garage, hard standing, or drive without our permission.
You must not park any vehicle which is illegal or unroadworthy on any Council land.
You cannot park a motor home, caravan, boat or other vehicle that weighs over one ton at your property.
