The Executive Councillor for Housing has
decided to extend the transitional financial protection offered to
council tenants who rent garages in the higher value area of the
city to other city residents who rent garages in this area. The
protection will ensure that garage rents go up by no more than
inflation plus £2.00 per rent week, plus the prevailing rate
of VAT until the full charge is achieved.
Decision type: Key
Reason Key: Significant effect on communities living or working in any ward in Cambridge;
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Notice of proposed decision first published: 24/04/2018
Decision due: 23 Apr 2018 by Executive Councillor for Housing
Lead member: Executive Councillor for Housing

Background Information: A report to Housing Scrutiny Committee in January 2018 approved the introduction of higher rental charges for garages in city centric locations. Transitional protection was approved for tenants of council homes who rent garages in these areas as the garages were originally built for the use of council tenants, Following a number of representations, it has been agreed to extend this transitional protection to other city residents.
