Alternatively you can do so on-line :
Pay and display car parks and season tickets
All of Adur's car parks are now pay and display. A rolling program is taking place for the installation of ticket machines to the sites currently without this facility.
The car parks are now split into two categories : long and short stay (see car park list below for details).
Car park season tickets
You can also apply for a car park season ticket on-line for our long stay car parks. An Adur DC car park season ticket will allow you to park in any of Adur DC's long stay car parks, but does not entitle you to use any of the short stay or residents only car parks. Current car park season ticket prices are shown in the car park list below.
'Residents only' car park season tickets are also available for the small residents only car park at 60 Brighton Road. This is available at £100 per year. From 1st April 2008 residents who have a valid season ticket for the Brighton Road residents only car park will be able to purchase books of visitor's tickets to allow their visitors to park in the Brighton Road residents only car park. For details of the 'Beach Green Car Park Resident Permit' (for houseboat owners only) see the car park list below.
As from the 1st April 2008 season tickets prices will be as follows :
- All Long stay car parks go up from £300.00 to £330.00
- Riverside Residents go up from £150.00 to £165.00

Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) in Adur
Update on Civil Parking Enforcement in Adur - November 2008 update
- NCP Services have been surveying the districts’ signs and lines, in conjunction with West Sussex County Council, and an order for remedial works has been placed. It is anticipated that all signs and lines will be corrected and brought into line with the Traffic Regulation Orders to make them fully compliant in advance of the go-live date in January 2009.
Update on Civil Parking Enforcement in Adur - October 2008
- Adur District Council is working hard on public literature to explain the scheme and the appeal procedure. Various website pages are in their draft stage to give as much information to readers as possible and the stationery for drivers is almost complete. Regular meetings are being held with Adur Cabinet Members to ensure the scheme meets the needs of local residents, businesses and visitors as much as possible. A presentation for Blue Badge holders has been designed for those who require more information and will be advertised soon after the scheme is implemented in January 2009.
Update on Civil Parking Enforcement in Adur - September 2008
- All is still in order for the implementation of Civil Parking Enforcement (CPE) to be introduced in Adur from Monday 26th January 2009. Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) will start work to make parking easier for local businesses, shoppers, residents and visitors.
- Local authorities are taking over the responsibility of parking enforcement from the police across the country, giving them the power to enforce parking controls by means of the Traffic Management Act 2004. West Sussex County Council, in partnership with Adur District Council, has made their application to the Department for Transport for the new powers and the publicity for the scheme is increasing in order to ensure a good understanding is held by all in advance of implementation in January 2009.
- The scheme is expected to be cost-neutral to Adur District Council, and to run at no cost to the Council tax-payer. The contract will be operated by NCP Services and managed as part of the Worthing Borough Council scheme where CPE went live in September 2007. Adur District Council will continue to manage its car parks and off-street charging policy.
- There will be no changes on-street other than an increase in enforcement of the parking regulations already in place. Those who abide by these regulations will see no difference at all. The scheme is set to improve the availability of on-street parking for shoppers visiting our town centres and will help to ensure that disabled parking spaces and loading bays are kept free for those legitimately able to use them.

With one exception, Adur District Council are not involved in any clamping to enforce parking restrictions.

If the car has been clamped anywhere other than Southwick Square, then it has not been clamped by Adur District Council.
