The lack of storage space for domestic households is one of the most common causes for complaint in many UK homes. It is a growing problem that raises a number of questions.
Have recent developers tried to squeeze as many houses as possible in to small spaces neglecting the need for decent sized garages?
Are we as a nation, amassing more and more possessions than ever before?
Do you we need to be trained in what to throw away and how to store our possessions in a more organised fashion?

"Storage is a fundamental problem facing the housing market. Space standards are going down, and as a consequence storage and other non essential elements of housing provision are being squeezed. I suspect that there is a direct correlation between declining space standards and the growth of self-storage companies. I also imagine that there is a link between parking problems and storage needs, because so many private garages are now used for storage."
"We should make better use of sheds and outdoors spaces. We’ve got the technology to make the outdoor spaces dampproof and secure.
