UPDATED parking charges will be introduced across the Southend City from the start of April.

Some of the key changes include:

Capped evening parking charges at £5 between 6pm and 9pm, down from the current £9. A 44% reduction.

A new winter tariff for November to January in the central seafront area.

Capping all-day parking charges on the seafront at £20 in Zone 1A. This is a reduction of £5 from the current £25. A 20% reduction.

A new commuter tariff of £6 per day (Southend Pass customers only at specified locations).

The Southend Pass subscription cost will also be frozen at £12.50 per month or £125 per year, while the Tradesperson Permit will remain at £60 per month or £600 per year.

Coun Daniel Cowan, Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Infrastructure and Corporate Strategy, said: “We said we would deliver a reduced winter tariff, and we have, but we haven’t stopped there.

“We’ve lowered evening and all day parking charges, as well as introduce a commuter offer and also frozen the popular Southend Pass and the Tradesperson Permit fees at £12.50 and £60 per month respectively.

“These measures aim to make parking more efficient, affordable, and accessible across the city whilst enabling us to double investment into our roads and pavements to a total of £13m.”

Before leaving your vehicle, the council advises you to check the parking signage to ensure compliance and visit the council’s website for full details.
