Parking in Thanet

In December 2023 we announced plans to create a new parking strategy for Thanet. One that sets out the future of parking requirements for the whole of the district, balancing residents’ needs with growing visitor numbers.

As part of this, specialist highway and transportation consultants were appointed to prepare a strategic review of parking across the district.

The consultants analysed parking data and an engagement exercise followed. This was to gather feedback from members of the public.

A number of engagement events were held during the development phase of the strategy. The sessions were a mix of virtual and in-person meetings, with some open to the general public. Targeted stakeholder sessions were also held, involving local businesses and Councillors.

Phase one included surveys for residents and businesses. It was open until Sunday 10 March 2024.

The Phase two survey ran from Monday 15 July to Sunday 1 September 2024.

We are now asking for feedback on the draft Residential Parking Policy. The survey will be open from Friday 21 November to Friday 19 December 2025.
