Seasonal car park charges

Transport and Technical Services (TTS) would like to remind all users of seasonal car parks that from Tuesday April 2, they will have to pay to park again.

 

Parking in the seasonal car parks is free from October to March (inclusive) but from the beginning of April parking charges are one unit per two hours. 

 

This applies to the following car parks: Lay-bys five, six and seven on Victoria Avenue, Victoria House, La Perquage at La Route de la Haule, La Mielle at St Aubin, Midbay at St Brelade’s bay, Tams at St Brelade’s bay and Woodford at St Brelade’s bay.

 

These car parks serve neighbouring beaches. Seasonal charging was introduced some years ago to try to free up more spaces for beach goers. When parking was previously free, car parks were filled up by car owners who lived in the area. Charging for parking allows fairer use of spaces.

 

Director of Transport for TTS Tristen Dodd said “Although there is signage in these seasonal car parks which says that you have to ‘pay and display’, we want to give people an extra reminder particularly regular users who may not pay as much attention to signs as others.”
