Blue Badge holders
We no longer allow free parking in our car parks when a valid Blue Badge is displayed. Normal tariffs now apply to Blue Badge holders but with double the time purchased when a valid pay and display ticket is displayed alongside a valid blue badge.
Motorcycle parking
Some of Suffolk Coastal's car parks have parking bays allocated for use by motorcycles only. Charges are waived if these bays are used for motorcycle parking. Charges do apply, however, if any other parking space within a pay and display car park is used.
Report a problem
All our car parks are operated by Suffolk Coastal Services (SCS) - if you want to report any problems with one of our car parks then please call SCS on 01394 444000 or email scsltd@suffolkcoastal.gov.uk.
