Garages Refurbishment Programme

Improvements

We started a £10 million programme to refurbish Council owned garage blocks across the town in November 2018. 

Work varies from block to block, and depends on a detailed survey of each block. The main elements that may be included in the work include:

• roofs
• garage doors
• structural repairs and alterations
• external redecoration
• door numbering
• block signage
• concrete hard standings

Timescales

The schedule for the refurbishment work could change.

• 2018/19
  • Garage blocks that are more than 40% vacant
• 2019/20
  • Bandley Hill, Shephall and Symonds Green
• 2020/21
  • Bedwell, Manor and Chells
• 2021/22
  • Martins Wood, Pin Green, St Nicholas and Woodfield
• 2022/23
  • Roebuck, Longmeadow and Old Town

These before and after images show the kind of work that is being completed.
