I'm still looking, I was onto something for a while but like most things it's fallen through.
Ideally an old barn would appear out of nowhere, but it hasn't happened yet.

Still looking too, currently more cars than parking so relying on getting something fixed at an actual garage, which is way more expensive than storage!

I'm still looking, like you I'm not finding anything suitable for private use.

I'm interested too, but I'd want outside space for parking a truck (14 tonne).

Still looking also, found a few suitable places but the cost is simply extortionate for places no bigger than a shoe box.
Thinking I may have to change my approach to searching and look for alternative networks who know of spaces for rent or less commercial advertisers.

Yeah, I've been asking after farmers with old barns, looking for anything else in the area is just asking to be ripped off!

I will gladly chip in with the need of space for one car ....
Let me know, and will keep a lookout for suitable sites - medway/maidstone/swale

Still bloody looking!! Got a couple of plans in the pipeline that might come to fruition. In the mean time I'm looking to start a retro/classic car club in the Canterbury that will hopefully lead to a bit more of a car community that we can all benefit from. www.facebook.com/groups/1482365951886652/Join up there, eventually we'll get a website and such like I'm sure, but for now it's a facebook group. |

I am in Tunbridge Wells and have been looking for a few years, reasonable travel is possible as is reasonable money, not looking to leave the car in there all the time as it’s a daily but may leave a decent size roll cab tool box and my bandit in, just changed jobs after qualifying as a mechanic so happy to help with peoples projects and to practice welding/fab work.
Cheers Steve

We've got a fair amount of people for this...maybe we should co-ordinate on Facebook or something and get a group chat - work out budgets and start seriously looking?

Cheers Steve Steve I'm pretty close to you (Hildenborough) but projects are scattered all over, will keep you posted if I hear of anything this way. Anyone else West Kent direction? |

Might be worth sorting a get together for a brew, get to meet people and decide if you like the look of the blokes you might be sharing with ?

We've been setting up a Canterbury Cars and Coffee event at the Independent Pedaler near Bridge, Canterbury. A couple of us have met there.
I've been keeping an eye out on local industrial estates but nothing much has come up and there aren't a lot that will allow any motor trade unfortunately.

I might try and get along to one of the gatherings next time you do one, unit prices are getting silly there is a one and a half car size unit near me with power and he wants £400 a week because it has power he says it is “commercial” 🤔

That's extortionate!! For that kind of money you can rent a large industrial unit in Medway!

Still keeping an eye out also but nothing sensibly priced at all. |
