Lochaber Area Committee agreed garage rents increase for 2024/25

Today (Tuesday 23 January 2024) Members agreed a 7.95% increase in garage rents for Lochaber garages and garage sites for 2024/25.

The additional revenue received through this increase will be ring fenced to fund garage repairs and improvements and will partly offset increases in the cost of repairs.

Garage Rent for Council Tenants will increase weekly by 97p from £12.27 to £13.24, Garage Rent non-tenant will go up by £1.17 from £14.72 to £15.89. Garage Site Rent for Council Tenants will increase by 18p from £2.31 to £2.49. Garage Site Rent for Non-Tenant will also increase by 22p from £2.77 to £2.99. As a result, income will increase from £83,242 to £89,859.

The rate increase will commence from April 2024 and garage tenants will be notified by letter.

The Lochaber Garages and Garage Sites Action Plan for Improvement is available in the report (Item 7).
