Generally, all parking areas on Council Estates are for communal parking (unless a residents parking scheme is in place), therefore spaces are available on a first come first served basis.
Tenants should not park any vehicle on the gardens of their property without prior approval. Permission will only be given if a vehicle crossover is obtained and the appropriate hardstanding installed.
| Caravans, Boats and Commercial Vehicles |
Owners of caravans, boats on trailers or commercial vehicles are encouraged to use appropriate areas such as caravan storage parks or alternatively apply for a parking bay or garage  for which a weekly charge is applicable.
If there is designated parking available, then all vehicles must be parked within the marked area allocated to your property.
Vehicles parked in areas other than those specified may cause an obstruction or restrict access for emergency service vehicles. Just keep in mind, one day it maybe your family or your home that require the services of the ambulances, fire brigade, or police.
By not parking on the greens or grass verges outside your home, or undertaking major car repairs will help keep your area looking good.
Pavements are for pedestrians. Car parked on the pavement can force pedestrians to walk into the road which can be very dangerous and can cause accidents.
It is most important to keep the footpaths clear for wheelchair, push chair user, the partially sighted or people with small children, as they may be forced to walk in the road which can be very dangerous and cause accidents.
Parking on the footways can also cause damage to kerbs, grass verges and pavements, as paving slabs can be dislodged which can cause pedestrians to trip.
Basildon District Council, along with all other Essex Local Authorities, have the power to clamp and subsequently remove vehicles parking in contravention of parking restrictions. This power is incorporated within the relative Traffic Regulations Order.
