Parking Strategy Engagement
Introduction
Strategic management of on-street parking remains a key priority for West Sussex County Council, particularly as development and vehicle numbers continue to rise across the county. In response, a revised policy framework and parking management programme has been developed to replace the former Road Space Audit programme.
The parking scheme development programme takes a responsive approach, enabling the County Council to address parking issues as they arise and be guided by concerns and expressions of interest from local communities.
Periodic reviews will continue to focus on the seven existing Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs).
This interactive platform has been designed to allow residents to engage with us, providing valuable feedback and information on local projects relevant to their area. Your input helps us shape a parking strategy that works for everyone.
Horsham -
West Sussex County Council is seeking residents views on a proposed change to the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) – Zone A in Horsham. Feedback suggests that current Monday–Saturday enforcement may no longer meet local needs, particularly with increased Sunday parking demand linked to changing retail and leisure activity. We are therefore exploring whether restrictions should apply seven days a week, with no change to the existing hours. Extending enforcement aims to improve parking availability for residents, reduce congestion, and support fair access for all users.
You can share your preference by completing the short survey at the bottom of this page. The survey will run from Monday 2nd February 2026 to the Sunday 1st March 2026. The options include extending all restrictions to Monday–Sunday, extending only resident‑bay restrictions to Monday–Sunday, or keeping things as they are.

Parking Consultation Update
Thank you to everyone who took part in the informal parking consultations in 2024. After reviewing all the feedback, we are now ready to move on to the next steps.
What’s happening next
February 2026 – Formal Consultation.
A formal consultation will take place for a small number of roads in the potential new/extension to parking zones:
Zone L: Crossways, Crossways Close, Farm Close, Gales Place, Scallows Close
Zone G: Hillcrest Close
The consultation will be available HERE as of 4th February 2026. Please also look out for site notices, which are usually yellow and attached to lamp columns and posts. A notice will also appear in your local newspaper. Both will include the consultation dates and explain how you can view the proposals and submit comments.
The formal consultation will remain live for three weeks.
Early 2026 – Informal Consultation for Proposed Zone H
Residents in the proposed Zone H area will be invited to take part in another informal consultation. The Parking Strategy Team has updated the suggested restriction hours based on the comments received so far. Everyone in this area will receive a letter explaining the changes and given another chance to share views before any decisions are made.
