TDC Parking News aims to keep you updated on all the current developments relating to car parks, road closures, residential schemes and any changes in legislation which may affect the way we operate.

PARKING IN FRONT OF DROPPED FOOTWAYS/KERBS

Penalty charge notices can be issued if you park in front of a dropped kerb. These type of kerbs are put in place to aid pedestrians in crossing the street or to allow vehicular access to properties.

If you experience difficulties from vehicles parking across your dropped kerb you can contact Parking Services on 01255 686969 Monday to Thursday 08.45 to 17.15 and Friday 08.45 to 16.45. Outside of these hours please call the Councils contact centre on 01255 222727. The operator will take details and we will endeavour to dispatch an Officer as soon as possible to assess the situation.
Please note that we will only respond to complaints regarding blocked access (dropped kerbs) from the HOMEOWNER.

CAR PARKS

Tamarisk Way Car Park, Jaywick

Tendring District Council, working in partnership with Essex County Council, The Environment Agency and the East of England Development Agency, has completed an Improvement and Environmental Enhancement Scheme at Tamarisk Way Car Park, Jaywick. This included reconstruction of the car park, a new entrance and the creation of landscape areas along the Tamarisk Way frontage.

The car park has been re-named "Jaywick Beach Car Park", to promote its beach-side location.

The Naze Car Park, Walton

Access Road Improvements at The Naze Car Park, Walton are due to commence on Monday 5 October 2009. Work is to be carried out by Shairwood Contracts and is expected to take 3 - 4 weeks to complete.

The Car Park will remain open to the public during this period and Tendring District Council apologises for any inconvenience caused.

Hazlemere Road Car Park, Holland on Sea

Part of Hazlemere Road Car Park is currently being used by J Breheny Contractors Limited for site offices and a storage area while they carry out coast protection works to reinforce and improve a section of seawall below York Road. The remaining area of the car park will continue to be open to the public.

The car park is due to be resurfaced once this scheme is completed early in 2010.
