Winter Wednesdays and the Park and Ride fallback
Free parking at William Street and Neptune is tied to the Wednesday winter offer running from 14 January to 25 March, so drivers visiting Herne Bay outside that offer need a different arrangement.
The Park and Ride residents’ rate is 20% off the standard charge, reducing the daily price to $3.20 instead of $4. The residents’ rate cannot be combined with the fifth-journey-free offer. Park and Ride is therefore a paid option rather than free parking, but its named resident tariff gives eligible Herne Bay drivers a cheaper fallback when the limited Wednesday arrangement does not apply or nearby spaces are full.
Herne Bay parking penalties and Blue Badge treatment
