Where this comes from
Lewes District Council's 2026 car park charges (12 May 2026) and parking page, East Sussex County Council's on-street parking, and each operator's own page, read 4 November 2026. The council's page says to pay with coins or RingGo; its map says cards too, so carry coins to be sure. Prices change: the sign at the machine is the last word.
