Car parks
Lewes District and County Hall
The County Council enforces the car parks owned by Lewes District Council (LDC) on their behalf. We do not make the rules for the car parks or set the charges. If you would like to contact someone about changing the restrictions or charges in one of LDCs car parks please email: Lewes District Council.
Information about parking at County Hall in Lewes is available on our website.
Eastbourne, Hastings, Rother and Wealden
We do not have any involvement with car parks in these areas. Any queries should be directed to the owner of the car park. Contact details are usually displayed on the signs in the car park. If you have been issued a PCN in one of the Eastbourne, Hastings, Rother or Wealden council owned car parks you will need to contact the relevant council to pay or challenge it.
Contact details for the borough and district councils can be found from our car parks web page.
Wealden
Parking in Wealden has not been decriminalised, this means that we cannot carry out any on street enforcement in this area.
Enforcement of the existing on street restrictions is the responsibility of the Police. Enforcement in car parks is managed by the car park owner, in most cases this is the district council.
