Complete our consultation form

Ashford Borough Council are intending to bring the enforcement of some of our housing car parks inhouse with our Civil Enforcement Officers and Parking Services team. This will replace the existing agreement currently in place. In some locations, the restrictions will be new. A full list of the locations which these restrictions are intending to be put in can be found below.

Why are you doing this?

We want to improve the parking facilities for residents (tenants and owners) by offering fairer, more consistent enforcement. This should allow residents more room to be able to park their vehicle.

It will also offer anybody who is issued a Penalty Charge Notice the chance to appeal initially to the council, but with the option of taking it to a fair, free, independent adjudicator. 

Will I need a permit?

Yes, you will need a digital permit in order to be able to park in these parking areas.

Are permits free?

Permits are free at the point of sale. Ashford Borough Council's housing department are covering the cost of each permit we issue.

Can visitors still use the car park?

Yes, you will have the option to have one visitor parked in a parking area at any one time.

Where are you proposing these changes?

A full list can be viewed in the site plans at the bottom of this page.
