Nine garages at Westminster Drive and six garages at Dorchester Avenue are being demolished to create the same number of parking spaces for residents in Bletchley.
The garage blocks have fallen into disrepair in recent years, and have become hubs for fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour.
The City Council has now started clearing the sites to make way for demolition, with works expected to be complete by the summer.

“These garage sites were heavily used by the community, but over time, their usage has declined massively and they’re now in poor condition," said Bletchley West Councillor Lauren Townsend, "It simply isn’t safe or sustainable for us to leave the garages as they are, so we have been working with residents to establish the best option for site. Bletchley, just like other older towns, has limited parking so it’s great news that these works will create over a dozen more spaces.”
Labour Ward Councillor Mick Legg added: “Over the years, we have tried to keep the garages clear of fly-tipped rubbish and have drastically improved the landscaping. However we always knew that this work would be a temporary fix.
"Creating more parking will drastically improve the area for residents, and I look forward to seeing the project complete.”
