Worthing Off-Street Parking Charges Set to Rise

Off-street parking charges in Worthing are set to increase starting August 30, according to Adur and Worthing Councils.

The council has announced that the new parking fees will be implemented across the town, affecting various off-street parking locations,

From the end of the month motorists parking at the multi-storey car parks will have to pay £1.40 rather than £1.30 for a one-hour stay from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, it will cost £1.10 rather than £1.

A council spokesperson said “We’re keeping the increases to off-street parking charges in Worthing as low as we can this year to minimise the impact on our citizens and businesses."

“We recognise that the effect of increases is felt more in the pockets of less well-off families so we’ve tried to keep the cost down to as little as 10p per hour extra to park in the borough.

“Increasing demand for our services and years of inadequate central government funding is unfortunately having a significant effect on our budgets.

“The extra income will help fund our other services across the town including the collection of waste and recycling, the management of our parks and green spaces and the cleaning of the town centre.”
