The cost of parking at the east end of Madeira Drive will be reduced following feedback from residents and businesses.
Parking prices in the area changed last month when we introduced a new unified summer seafront tariff, designed to simplify pricing in one of the busiest parts of Brighton & Hove.
But, having listened carefully to the views of people who use the facilities or need access to the beach at that end of Madeira Drive, parking charges will be lowered as a trial ahead of the formal Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) process which would determine the way forward
The price changes for the area east of the arches are set out below:
The changes will come into effect in around 3 to 4 weeks to allow time for updating the parking machines and changes to PayByPhone systems.
In addition to the changes, we’ve also identified space to introduce new parking spaces in the area with the full details being included in the upcoming TRO.
Parking charges in Brighton & Hove will remain fair and be simplified under proposals being discussed by councillors.
As part of the budget proposals, parking charges in Brighton & Hove will be frozen for the first time in more than a decade.
A report being presented to Cabinet next week will set out a parking plan that will be better for residents, support local businesses and help the growth of our visitor economy.
