A statement from the Mole Valley Parking Department:
“With regards to the West Street closure, we have been listening to local businesses and have been considering how we can help from a parking point of view. We have been made aware that some staff who work in the local shops have been having difficulties getting to work and parking due to the long diversion route.
What we are able to offer to each small independent business in Dorking is one free parking permit that can be used in Dorking long stay car parks (except St Martin’s Walk). The permit can be transferred between members of staff and will be valid until 31st December 2024. Requests for a permit can be made by emailing parking@molevalley.gov.uk.
Eligibility for the Business Support permit will be based on the business’s registered address being in Dorking, with the business solely operating within Mole Valley. Additionally, the business must have no more than 20 employees. Please contact the parking team if you are unsure of your eligibility.”
This initiative is a great step in supporting local businesses during the disruption caused by the West Street closure.
