Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council is consulting on changes to on-street parking bays at locations across Tonbridge and West Malling.

Parking in Avebury Avenue has always been contested between those wanting short-stay parking near to the town centre, and residents who wish to park close to their homes.

Introduction of on-street parking charges - West Malling Highstreet and Swan Street
West Malling High Street and Swan Street has 93 on-street shared-use parking bays that currently provide one hour free parking, as well as unlimited resident permit parking. However these one hour parking bays are often used by all-day parking.

Alteration to loading bay outside Tesco in West Malling
The existing loading bay outside Tesco in West Malling High Street currently operates as a loading bay until noon, Monday to Saturday. However, this has caused significant problems with obstructive parking.

We are revising tariffs of charges for on-street parking. As part of the review of fees and charges for our services we are proposing to increase on-street parking charges, to reflect the increasing costs of the provision of services.
