Free One-Hour Parking Introduced Across Horley

Horley Drivers Can Now Get One Hour of Free Parking

Free One-Hour Parking Introduced Across Horley During Regeneration Works Drivers visiting Horley can now get one hour of free parking in all council-run car parks while regeneration works continue in the town. The free parking arrangement starts on 21 September 2026 and will remain in place until further notice. Although the first hour is free, drivers must still obtain a pay-and-display ticket and clearly display it in their windscreen. How Horley's free parking works The temporary arrangement applies across all council-run car parks in Horley, giving drivers an opportunity to park for up to one hour without paying a parking charge. Drivers should not simply leave their vehicle without a ticket, as the council has specifically stated that a pay-and-display ticket must be obtained and displayed. The change comes while regeneration works continue as part of the Delivering Change in Horley Town Centre project. For people making short visits to the town, the free hour could make it easier to park while visiting local businesses and other destinations. However, drivers should still check the signs and conditions at their chosen car park before leaving their vehicle. The council has not given a fixed end date for the arrangement, saying the free parking will remain available until further notice. This means drivers can currently take advantage of the free first hour without needing to wait for a specific temporary promotion date. The council has also said it will inform the public in advance if and when parking charges are brought back. Anyone regularly travelling into Horley should therefore keep an eye out for future updates, particularly as the town-centre regeneration works continue. For drivers visiting somewhere unfamiliar, checking parking arrangements before travelling can also help avoid confusion over whether a ticket is required even when no payment is due. EveryonesParking can help drivers plan where to park before heading into town, making short visits and longer journeys easier to organise. For now, the key message for Horley drivers is simple: one hour is free, but a pay-and-display ticket still needs to be displayed in the vehicle.
