Rainham ward has sufficient allocated parking spaces in the off-street car parks. However, commuters and visitors to the shopping area choose to use the residential street taking up valuable space.These recommendations would introduce new parking restrictions in Rainham ward pending the outcome of the advertisement of the intention to make the order. These proposals are in line with the key objectives as set out in the local transport plan.
