Around 100 council-owned domestic garages across Hull are set to be demolished every year with the land used for off-street parking, a document shows. A Hull City Council decision record stated it was continuing on with its programme to reduce the number of garages amid dwindling occupancy. Council Housing Portfolio Holder Cllr Paul Drake-Davis said it would allow the underused spaces to be repurposed which would benefit tenants and residents.
