Two Tonbridge Car Parks Set to Close

Two council-run car parks in Tonbridge are set to close, according to decision notices published on Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council's democracy portal. The Angel East car park and the car park at Audley Rise are both affected, with each closure signed off separately by a Senior Engineer under delegated authority rather than put to a full committee.

Both decisions follow an identical pattern: logged as "Non-key" decisions with a status of "Recommendations Approved", each with a notice of proposed decision published on 28 August 2026 and a decision date of 25 August 2026. Angel East carries the reference D260021OFF; Audley Rise carries D260020OFF.

Beyond confirming that both closures have been approved, the council's published records don't say why, for how long, or whether alternative parking will be made available nearby — that detail, if it exists, sits in a separate decision notice PDF attached to each record rather than in the page itself. Angel East and Audley Rise both serve the town centre, so anyone who regularly parks at either should keep an eye out for on-site signage or further updates from the council.
