Date confirmed for Adur car park charges increase
New charges in Adur car parks have been confirmed, with an average increase of around six per cent.
Adur District Council has given notice of the parking charges changes at off-street car parks, with increases from 10p per hour for both occasional users and season ticket holders due to come into force on September 21.
The proposals apply to all the council's surface car parks, including Southwick Square, Shoreham's Beach Green, Middle Street, Old Fort, Pond Road, Riverside and Tarmount Lane car parks, and Lancing's Littlecroft and North Farm Road car parks.
Some of the car parks have a flat rate charge for Sundays and Bank Holidays, which will increase from £1 to £1.10. The 30-minute parking option would be removed.
At the Beach Green car park, for example, the one-hour charge would rise from 80p to £1 and the all-day tariff would increase from £5.40 to £5.70.
The council has said the additional income generated by the increases would help support continued investment in council services.
Council car parks that are currently free to use, such as Kingston Beach in Shoreham, would remain free of charge.
Adur and Worthing Councils are planning a wider review of the parking strategy during 2026/27, to simplify tariffs, improve the app experience and support businesses.
