Parking charges at Weston seafront have more than doubled as peak season charges kicked in from March 1. According to a Somerset Live report, North Somerset Council operates winter and summer fees for parking in the popular seafront resort.
This means that the increase in seafront parking will rise from £2.50 to £6 for four hours, while the daily charge will go up from £4 a day to £10 a day. Meanwhile, visitors to Clevedon will also have to fork out more, with Salthouse Fields and Hawthorns car parks seeing an increase from £4 to £7 per day.
On street parking charges and fees for other car parks remain the same all year across the district. With spring and summer coming, coastal resorts around the south west are gearing up for the busier months ahead. .

A North Somerset Council spokesperson said: “We operate seasonal car park pricing at some locations which means there’s different pricing over the winter (November to end of February) and the summer season (from March to the end of October). This happens every year and our seasonal parking charges have stayed the same for the last three years.
A full list of fees and charges is available on the North Somerset Council website.
Locals have recently spoken out about Clevedon's controversial new roundabout. Just weeks after it first appeared, it was removed - and repainted days later. The new roundabout includes arrows around its perimeter.
It has also seemingly been made smaller. This is not the first time that the road markings installed as part of the controversial scheme have had to be amended.
