Overview
Garage Waiting List ReopenedWe are pleased to confirm that the council’s garage waiting list reopened on 5 May 2026. The list was originally closed in October 2023 due to exceptionally high demand and limited availability. Since then, our Garage Services team has carried out extensive work to reduce the backlog, review allocations, renovate several garage blocks, and improve turnaround times. Thanks to this progress, we are now able to accept new applications in the following areas: • Corringham • East Tilbury • South OckendonAt this stage, only these locations have sufficient availability to reopen. We will continue monitoring capacity and hope to extend applications to additional areas later in the year.Thank you for your patience while this work has taken place. |
We provide garages and garage plots for rent across the borough.
Garages are either in standalone blocks or under properties such as maisonettes or flats. Garage plots are available to rent either for parking or if you would like to install your own garage.
