In March 2024 we reported on a Public Consultation on Parking Charges in Saltgrass Lane and New Lane, Keyhaven, and the outcome is that the plans are to be reevaluated.
A recent article in the Advertiser & Times by Roz Waters has reported that the plans for on-street parking charges are going back to the drawing board and the plans are to be re-examined.

The original plan was to introduce:
- Daily on street pay & display parking spaces from 10am to 6pm.
- No waiting at any time.
- Motor Caravans will not be allowed to park from 8pm to 8am.
- Parking Charges would be £1 per hour and £8 for all day.
Initially, it was thought that only the issue of overnight parking was to be addressed, but daily parking charges were in the notice, which means that there would no longer be any free parking close to the beach for locals or visitors in Milford on Sea or Keyhaven.
Locally, there is an issue with the volume of Motor Caravans parking overnight, and antisocial behaviour from a small minority. However, the initial proposals did not simply address this one issue.
As always seems to be the case, the people and families that can least afford to pay the charges will be hardest hit. A free two hour period would be a fairer action in our opinion.
