Commuter station parking with accessible bays, ANPR access, and discounted season tickets.
Dovercourt Station Car Park is operated by Greater Anglia in partnership with Tendring District Council, serving rail commuters and local shoppers. The lot offers 140 sealed tarmac bays, including eight accessible spaces positioned adjacent to the station entrance for level access. Entry and exit are managed by ANPR cameras; casual users pay at pay-on-foot machines accepting coins, notes, and contactless cards. Tariffs are £4 for up to 12 hours and £6 for 24 hours, with discounted weekly and monthly season tickets for regular commuters. High-intensity LED lampposts illuminate the lot from dusk until dawn, and six CCTV cameras provide 24/7 surveillance coverage. Covered cycle racks accommodating up to 30 bicycles are located near the entrance to encourage multi-modal transport. Covered signage displays train timetables to London, Ipswich, and services to Manningtree, as well as local bus connections. Monthly maintenance includes line repainting, pothole repairs, and litter collection to maintain a secure, commuter-friendly environment. The car park is within a one-minute walk of the ticket hall and sheltered waiting area.
