Where to park in Medway
All Medway Council car parks, except the Brook and Market Hall
multi-storey in Chatham, are free overnight (the tariff boards in
each car park state the times).
For further information, please use the links at the foot of
this page.
You may find yourself liable for a penalty charge if you do not
clearly display a ticket in pay and display areas, park outside
marked bays or park in a designated disabled parking bay without
displaying a valid disabled person's blue badge. Tickets are not
transferable between vehicles or car parks.
Season tickets are available for all
long-term car parks.
Any queries relating to penalty
charges or season tickets should be made to the Parking
Services Team, using the details at the foot of the page.
Disabled parking
All council car parks (excluding The Brook Car Park and Market
Hall Multi Storey Car Park) are free to blue
badge holders and most have dedicated wide bays to assist
wheelchair users. However, disabled drivers are liable to a penalty
charge if they park outside the marked bays or fail to display
their badge and clock. Solomons Road and Fullagers Yard car parks
in Chatham and Kings Head car park in Rochester are exclusively for
disabled people.
Free park and ride service
A free park and ride service operates
every Saturday from Horsted to Chatham town centre. The service
begins at 9am with the last bus leaving Military Road at about
5.40pm.
The park and ride service will cease from 31 March
2012
Alternative services running from Maidstone Road,
Chatham is the Arriva 101
which runs every 15 minutes Monday to Saturday, and hourly on
Sundays, to Chatham Waterfront Bus Station whereby connecting buses
such as the 140/141
can take passengers to Rochester.
Residents' parking
There are various areas set aside for residents’ parking.
Restrictions vary from area to area and are stated on street signs.
For information about permits, restrictions or related matters, contact
the Parking Services Team.
Car park security
Medway Council has introduced closed circuit television (CCTV)
in many of its car parks. The cameras are monitored 24 hours a day,
365 days a year and are successful in reducing the level of crime,
leading to Medway Council receiving awards under the Automobile
Association and Home Office Secured Car Parks Award Scheme.
However, no security system can guarantee the total elimination
of crime, so please help the council to help you. Ensure that your
car is locked when you leave it and that all valuables are out of
sight.
Coach parking
Coaches may park free in Acorn Wharf Coach Park, Rochester (37 spaces)
and at Medway Park, Gillingham (four spaces). Overnight lorry
parking is available at Whiffens Avenue (Chatham). The tariff
boards state the prices.
