The scheme is monitored and if necessary expanded to include other roads. If you feel your road should be included in the parking scheme, contact West Sussex County Council

Each road within the scheme is marked with bays reserved for permit holders at certain times of the day. Outside these times, anyone can park there.

Permit holders can park within the bays anywhere in that zone, not just their own street. It will not be possible to guarantee anyone a permanent space outside their home.

Each vehicle parked on the road during the controlled hours must display a valid permit.

If a resident makes use of many different vehicles but only ever parks one at a time (e.g. company cars) the permit can display more than one registration.

See a list of current charges for all permits on the resident and business parking permits page.
