From April 3, West Sussex County Council is introducing new charges for permit holders.

Second resident permits are going up £3 to £83, while non-resident permits are rising £10 to £260.

Visitors will have to pay 10p more a day to park, rising to £1.50, or £7.30 a week.

The changes also affect residents of Gloucester Road, Lennox Street, London Road, Lyon Street, Queensway, Sudley Road, Walton Avenue, Walton Road and Waterloo Square.

From May 1, on-street pay and display parking in the town centre is due for a slight rise, from 90p an hour to £1.

Parking in Marine Drive West is also going up to 55p an hour from 50p.

Arun District Council is also raising the price of parking along three Bognor roads from May 1.

Parking over four hours on Culver Road will go from £7 to £7.40.

To park for up to four hours on Rock Gardens will now cost £3.20, up 20p, while an over two-hour stay on Gloucester Road will rise from £7 to £7.40.

Bognor town councillors discussed Arun’s parking rises on Tuesday and submitted no comment.
