Garages are allocated according to priority and then by the date of the application. Priority groups are described in the table below.

• Group A - a household where any member of the household is disabled and the residents are Royal Borough of Greenwich tenants or leaseholders.
• Group B - current garage tenants whose garage is being closed down, for example, to allow for site development, or their garage is non-repairable.
• Group C - a household suffering car-related hate crime or domestic violence and the allocation of a garage is a recommendation of the Multi-Agency Panel.
• Group D - current Royal Greenwich tenants and leaseholders living near to the facility and members of their household where this is their permanent home.
• Group E1 - other residents of the Royal Borough of Greenwich who are registered disabled.
• Group E2 - all other residents of the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
• Group F - all applicants who live outside the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
• Group G - requests for second garages for current RBG tenants and leaseholders and members of their household.

These facilities are not available to Royal Borough of Greenwich staff for employment related parking. Staff will be treated as non-residents.

Priority for people with disabilities

We give priority to people with mobility and sight impairments, or households with a member who has such impairment.

If you believe you would be eligible for priority, you will need to provide original copies of the following documents when you are accepted for a garage or parking space:

• blue badge
• proof of receiving the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• proof of being registered blind or partially sighted
• proof of having a Motability vehicle
• proof of receiving a War Pensioner's mobility supplement
• proof of receiving Attendance Allowance.

Garage sites

We manage our garage stock by:

• carrying out refurbishment and repairs as necessary
• demolishing garage sites that are beyond economic repair
• selling or redeveloping garage sites for alternative use

Where a garage or garage site is affected by any of the above, we will offer an alternative garage in close proximity (where available) and prioritise garages for working motor vehicles. Alternative garages will only be offered to existing garage tenants who are not in rent arrears.

If an alternative garage is not available, we will add residents to the garage waiting list and offer them a garage if/when one becomes available.

Arrears - if you are in debt to the council

If you are in debt to the council - for example, if you are a tenant with rent arrears or a leaseholder with service charge arrears - your name will not go onto the garage waiting list until your account is clear.

If you rent a garage from us and your account falls into arrears, we may repossess the garage.
