Parking and Garages

Parking and Garages

If you have a car you must park it in your driveway, if you have one, or in the space provided.

If you do not have a parking space please make sure that you do not block roads, paths or grassed areas. You need to make sure there is enough space for fire engines, ambulances and police cars to get through.

You need our written permission before parking a motor vehicle, boat or caravan in your garden, drying area or communal grassed area.

Applying for a garage plot or lock-up in West Lothian

Lock-up garages help protect your car against theft and accidental damage or vandalism. And in winter, a lock-up garage keeps your car free of frost.

West Lothian Council has garage plots and lock-ups in most parts of West Lothian. The table on this page indicates the areas where we have garage plots and lock-ups.

You must live in the area that you are applying for a garage plot or lock-up for your application to be considered. If you apply for an area out with your home address your application will not be considered.

Successful applicants are selected on a date order basis, with council tenants receiving priority. All other applicants, including owner-occupiers, will have their applications placed on the waiting list.

Some Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) in West Lothian also provide garages and lock-ups for rent. See the Housing Associations and Landlords webpage for a list of RSLs in West Lothian.
