Swale Borough Council has reduced the cost of parking for more than 6 hours to £7 from the £15 to provide more long stay car parking needed around the station and town centre.
Cllr Tim Valentine, cabinet member for environment at the council, said:
“We’re pleased to offer more long stay car parking spaces at the Bourne Place multi-storey car park for locals and visitors in Sittingbourne.
The more than 50 per cent reduction will open up 308 spaces at the new car park.
We know that more long stay parking is needed near the station and around the town centre, so we decided to amend the long stay charge to provide the space that users need.
The multi-storey car park offers secure and well-lit parking between 8am and 7pm every day, giving users peace of mind during the darker winter mornings and evenings. It also benefits from CCTV cameras throughout the building for extra reassurance.
The car park will be open 24-hours a day when the Travelodge hotel opens which will make it even easier for commuters to park.”
The car park will be closed on Christmas day, Boxing day and the New Years day, opening the usual times on all other days.
