As from Monday June 15, car parking charges in the two Sedgemoor District Council-owned car parks in Cheddar, will be re-introduced, after their suspension on April 1.

Both the Church Street and Cliff Street car parks operate a pay by phone option, should people not want to use the ticket machines. There will be an increased cleaning regime for ticket machines.

Car parking charges are a key source of funding for the services that councils provide, none more so than at this difficult time.

All councils across the country are facing very challenging financial circumstances. Car parking charges are a very important source of income for Sedgemoor - one that without the council will have significantly less resources to do work.

Sedgemoor is working with the parish council to be promoting the village centre, encouraging people to return to shop safely.

Signs have been put on the car park machines as well as other advisory signs in car parks.
