Booking your evening parking just got easier in Leigh-on-sea and Southend

July 27, 2026

New and improved evening booking arrangements with your Southend Pass

Southend Council have listened to your feedback and have made it easier for you to book your evening parking with the Southend Pass.

You can now use your daytime parking allowance and evening parking allowance in a single booking when parking in Zone 1 and at University Square Car Park.

There is now no need to book 2 sessions if parking before and after 6pm

For example:

Parking from 3pm to 9pm? Simply book the full stay in one session.

Parking from 5pm to 8pm? Simply book the full stay in one session.

The change means:

You can make a single booking for your full stay

A simpler booking process

The same Southend Pass parking benefits

Ongoing benefits

Whether you use your Southend Pass every day or just occasionally, here's a reminder of how to get the most from it.

The Southend Pass remains great value at just £12.50 per month or £125 per year.

It offers up to 3 hours of parking per day in each of Zones 1, 2, 3 and 4. This could provide up to 12 hours of parking across the 4 zones every day, subject to the 3-hour allowance in each zone.

The Southend Pass also provides an additional evening parking allowance of up to 3 hours in Zone 1between 6pm and 9pm and 3 hours at University Square Car Park between 6pm and midnight.

Park more than 1 vehicle at the same time

You can park more than one vehicle at the same time, either within the same or in different zones, which can be useful when another member of your household also needs to park at the same time.

The 3-hour daytime parking allowance in each zone is shared between all vehicles using the Southend Pass in that zone. Where a separate evening allowance is applicable, that allowance is also shared between all vehicles using the Southend Pass in the relevant location.

Move between locations in the same zone

The Southend Pass also allows roaming within a zone. You can move your vehicle between different locations in the same zone during an active parking session and not have to worry about changing the app or buying additional parking time.

Great news for commuters!

The daily commuter discount is available for Southend Pass customers. Park for £6 per day at:

Belton Way West Bays, Leigh on Sea

Belton Way East Bays, Leigh on Sea

East Beach Car Park, Shoeburyness.

More locations may be added in the future.
