January 2008 - New Arrangements for Wivenhoe's Public Car Park 

In association with Wivenhoe Town Council, it has been agreed that changes will be introduced to make the Wivenhoe car park 3 hours maximum stay on Mondays to Saturdays (except bank holidays) between 8am and 6pm. These changes will come into force on Monday 11th February 2008.

Previously parking was unlimited and this was leading to all day parking which in turn was keeping out local people wishing to park to go to the shops, etc.

The Legal Notices will be displayed on site and have been posted in the Evening Gazette on Friday 18th January, 2008.

Responsibility for enforcement will rest with Colchester Borough Council's called Parking Attendants.

Special season ticket permits will be issued for business parking after changes at Wivenhoe car park come into effect. These permits will be administered by an arrangement with Wivenhoe Town Council, and will be available only to registered businesses in the Wivenhoe town centre to give exemption from the maximum stay. A maximum of 15 tickets to be issued concurrently at the preferential rate of £25 for 13 weeks. Application should be made at the Wivenhoe Town Council offices, 77 High Street, Wivenhoe CO7 9AB.
