Parish Council Car Parks

Main Road and Mayes Lane Car Parks Management

The Parish Council, following lengthy discussion, have taken the decision to implement car park management due to the increasing shortage of car parking for residents, visitors and users of the Leisure Centre – a number of cars are left in the car park all day which is creating issues for residents and visitors who want to use the facilities, visit the shops or use other services in the centre of the village. Therefore, commencing 1 February 2025, Ocean Parking will be managing the Main Road and Mayes Lane car parks. This partnership is cost-neutral, so the Parish Council will not incur any expense.

Please note that both car parks are treated as being 1 site.
