Tandridge District Council is consulting about increases to its car park charges. 

The Council says it would be the first increase since 2018 and is needed to cover car park maintenance and improvements.  There are no changes proposed to the two, three and four hour free parking currently available, but the Council is looking to increase the charges which start once the free parking period ends. 

One of those affected is the Ellice Road car park in Oxted which currently has free parking for the first two hours; the proposed increase for 2-3 hours parking would rise from £3 to £3.30. Those parking for over 4 hours would see a rise from £6.50 to £7.20. 

Season tickets and contract space fees will also increase. 

Residents have until the 31st January to email the Council at  parkingorder2024@tandridge.gov.uk with their comments.  The updated order can be viewed at tandridge.gov.uk/consultation and is scheduled to start on 3rd March.
