Date confirmed for Worthing car park charges increase
New charges in all Worthing council car parks have been confirmed, meaning an average increase of around 3.5 per cent.
Worthing Borough Council has given notice of the parking charges changes at off-street car parks, with increases from 5p per hour for both occasional users and season ticket holders due to come into force on August 24.
The proposals apply to all the council car parks, including the High Street, Buckingham Road and Civic Quarter multi-storey car parks, and the Beach House East and West, Brooklands Brighton Road East and West, Brooklandsand Western Road, Lyndhurst Road, Montague Centre and Teville Gate surface car parks.
Season tickets at Amelia Park and Marine Crescent are also affected.
At the High Street multi-storey, for example, the minimum one-hour charge would rise from £1.50 to £1.55 and the maximum 12-hour tariff would increase from £13 to £13.40.
The council has said the additional income generated by the increases would help support continued investment in council services.
A wider review of the parking strategy is planned during 2026/27, with aims including simplifying tariffs, improving the parking app experience and supporting local businesses.
