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.
