Welcome to the Parking Services area of the website.

We operate 32 Pay & Display and 7 Free Car Parks throughout the Tendring District providing over 4,000 parking spaces, including facilities for coach parking and overnight commercial vehicles. Our car parks are located primarily in the urban coastal areas of Clacton-on-Sea, Harwich and Dovercourt, Walton-on-the-Naze, Holland-on-Sea, Jaywick and Brightlingsea. There are also car parks in the rural areas of Elmstead Market and Ardleigh. View a map of the district's car parks here.

We also operate a number of Residents Parking Zones.

In October 2004 we also took over the enforcement of on street restrictions from Essex Police, with the introduction of Decriminalised Parking Enforcement (DPE). From the 31st March 2008 the legislation under which we operate is Traffic Management Act 2004.
