    FAQs​

    We have introduced a new licence agreement for the garages we let in Torfaen. This will result in some changes and those customers affected on the 1st April 2026 will have received a letter from us explaining those changes.  

     We’ve put together some FAQs to help understand what it could mean for you.  

    If you are a Bron Afon contract holder you have 3 options from 1 April 2026. 

    1. Stay on your current garage agreement and pay £18 per week.  
    2. Move to our new licence agreement and pay £65 per month.  
    3. If you no longer want to continue to let the garage under either option 1 or 2 then you can end your agreement and return the keys to Bron Afon.  

    We need one week’s notice if you let your garage weekly and you must give one month’s notice if you pay for your garage monthly.  

    If you are not a Bron Afon contract holder you have 3 options from 1 April 2026. 

    1. Stay on your current garage agreement and pay £21.60 per week. 
    2. Move to our new licence agreement and pay £78 per month. 
    3. If you no longer want to continue to let the garage under options 1 or 2 then you can end your agreement and return the keys to Bron Afon.  

    We need one week’s notice if you pay a weekly fee for your garage and you must give one month’s notice if you pay a monthly fee for your garage. 

    We want to make sure all the garages we let are covered by the same agreement. As part of this update, we market‑tested our prices to bring them in line with local rates.  Typical storage rates in the area are around double the cost of our garage fees.  We also recognise people want to use garages for reasons other than vehicle storage and we have listened to feedback and updated arrangements to meet customers’ need.  

    Our customer service team will give you an estimated timeframe for a response. Please bear with us during this busy time and give us the opportunity to come back to you as soon as we can.  If we are unable to come back to you by 31st March, you will still have the opportunity to move to the new license agreement if you choose to do so. 

    In order to move to the new monthly agreement, you must pay by Direct Debit.  

    If you choose to continue to pay your fee weekly, you will have to stay on your existing agreement (Option 1 above), or you can choose to end your agreement and hand back the keys (Option 3 above). 

    Our current garage charges are below what you would normally expect to pay. We need to increase the charges to cover rises in costs and for us to reinvest in the garages we own and meet the demand for people who want them. By charging the actual cost of maintaining garages, we will be able to bring more into use for the community.   

    If you pay a weekly fee, please contact us about your repair and we will carry out an inspection to review it. If major work is needed on your garage, then it may not be cost effective for us to do, and we may offer you a different garage to let. You also have the option to end your agreement and hand back the keys. In some cases, we may be able to sell you the garage.

    We are aware that some garages are in a poor condition and we are working through these to assess them and bring some of them up to a standard suitable to let.
