From 2 July new parking rules come into force in Tandridge District Council's car parks. The changes are occuring to remedy the fact that currently car parks designed for use by shoppers are full of longer term users who are tending to leave their cars all day during the week.
Following the changes there will still be free parking in Ellice Road car park for Oxted shoppers and, while limited to four hours, this benefit will apply even before 9.30am. But the biggest change is that even though motorists do not need to pay, they must now get a pay and display ticket and put it in their windscreen.
The Johnsdale Road car park will now be for permit holders only, freeing up space in the Ellice Road facility.
