Medway’s free parking Monday scheme is set to come to an end after Monday, 9th October 2023.
The scheme was put in place following Medway’s budget meeting in February, but unfortunately, it is no longer feasible to continue offering free parking on a Monday.
The last Monday motorists will be able to park for free in the 10 specified car parks will be on 9th October 2023. After this date, normal parking charges apply.
The 10 car parks are:
Chatham - The Brook and St. John’s
Rochester - Blue Boar Lane and The Cathedral
Gillingham - Littlewoods and Balmoral Gardens
Rainham - Longley Road and The Cricketers
Strood - Temple Street and Commercial Road
Cllr Tris Osborne, Medway Council’s Portfolio Holder covering Parking Enforcement, said:
“Unfortunately, due to the challenging financial situation we have found the council in, we are no longer able to continue the free parking Monday scheme that was introduced in April.
“We recently announced that we would have to make some difficult decisions which least impact our most critical services.”
