Riverside Carpark, Shoreham to fully reopen for business

Now that the construction work on the Adur Ferry Bridge is completed, Riverside carpark is going to fully reopen on 19th January 2015, from which time parking charges will apply.

Parking charges in the Riverside carpark were suspended in the summer of 2012 as a large part of the carpark was needed for the storage of building materials and equipment.  However, now that the Ferry Bridge is complete, all of the parking spaces will be reopened and the parking charges will come back into force.

Councillor Keith Dollemore, Executive Member for the Environment at Adur District Council, says: "The car park was closed to assist the building of the new Adur Ferry Bridge as part of Adur’s contribution to it. When the bridge was finished, it was intended to redevelop the car park and surrounding area. This has not happened, but we do need to bring the car park back into regulated use and available for all, for the benefit of everyone including local businesses. I sincerely hope the redevelopment will progress later in the year."

The pricing structure for the Riverside Carpark remains unchanged and is as follows:

Up to 1 hour - 50p

Up to 2 hours - £1.00
