New long stay car park opens in Horsham town centre

Horsham District Council opened the car park in North Street in response to demand from residents and commuters.

A spokesman said: “The BT Exchange Pay and Display car park is just a short walk from Horsham train station and will provide 88 new parking spaces in the town centre.”

The car park will accommodate commuters parking from Monday to Saturday from 6am to 5pm. Customers are able to buy season tickets for £6 a day, £23 a week, £88 a month or £930 a year.

Flexible payment options will be available through the MiPermit app. This will provide a virtual permit, so there will be no need to carry cash and personal accounts can be managed via the app which will be available on App Store and Google Store, the spokeswoman said.

She added: “Pay and Display tickets using cash or payment cards will still be available if required. After 5pm Mondays to Saturdays, parking will remain free of charge. On Sundays and Bank Holidays motorists can still use pay and display facilities at a charge of £1.50 for the whole day.”

Cabinet member for the local economy and parking cllr Paul Clarke said: “We are pleased to provide this new car park for the Horsham community.

“We are aware that demand for parking, particularly in Horsham Town Centre is high, and know that finding somewhere that is quick, easy and accessible to park is key for this area and will reduce parking in residential roads nearby.”
