West Dunbartonshire Council has a legal duty to protect your property if you are awaiting a homelessness assessment or have been assessed as homeless or threatened with homelessness. This duty includes the storage of belongings that you are temporarily unable to look after. For example, this may be because there is insufficient space within your temporary accommodation to store your furniture.
The Council may:
- arrange storage space and/or accommodation for any pet
- provide this service even if it no longer has a duty to accommodate you
- make a reasonable charge for this service.
