Car Parks
Please note, as from 1 April 2021, new parking charges apply
Rochford District Council will be recommencing enforcement measures in the Council’s pay and display car parks from Monday 1 June, 2020.
Please ensure you purchase a PayByPhone session or a ticket.
While the purchase of a ticket using cash will be possible, it is strongly advised that the PayByPhone payment option is used to avoid queuing and contact with coins and the ticket machines.
If you haven’t already registered, full information is displayed on the machines and noticeboards. To save time, please register on-line before your visit at https://paybyphone.co.uk/
If you don’t have a Smartphone, you can still use the service by calling 0330 400 7275 and follow the prompts to enter your details and complete the payment. If you would prefer to text send REG followed by a space and then your vehicle registration number in a text message to 65565 and you will be called back to complete the payment.
Customers are reminded to follow the Government’s social distancing advice at all times in the car parks.
The Council continues to provide free car parking for NHS staff and social care workers who are on official duty until further notice. If you are one of these workers, please display supporting official evidence on the windscreen of your vehicle.
