Visitors to Goffs Park Lower Car Park in Crawley who paid for parking between 2 March and 18 March 2026 are set to receive full refunds following an administrative error by Crawley Borough Council.
The local authority confirmed that a technical mistake led to drivers being incorrectly charged for parking during this period. Whether visitors paid by card or used the miPermit app, the council has stated that reimbursements will be processed automatically.
New parking charges were introduced at the lower car park on 2 March 2026, with fees ranging from £1.50 for one hour to £7 for a full day. Councillor Nick Hilton, Cabinet member for Environment, Sustainability and Climate Change, explained that these charges were intended to deter all-day commuter parking and ensure spaces remained available for visitors to the town’s oldest park.
The council has confirmed that it will not be charging for parking at the lower car park until the administrative issue is resolved. Anyone with further questions or specific concerns regarding the billing error can contact the council at [email protected].
