Parking charges are set to rise on Seaton seafront from Friday, September 30 for pay-and-display spaces run by Devon County Council.

They will also go up at Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, and Exmouth, with no variation for summer or winter.

This does not affect car parks run by East Devon District Council.

A Devon County Council spokesperson said: "New pay and display tariffs in Devon come into effect on 30 September for the majority of the county, and this is the first review of its kind for more than three years (2019/2020).

"It is normal practice for highway authorities to periodically review these tariffs to ensure that are consistent with any changes made by our district partners who operate public car parks.

"Additionally the changes will help us to ensure that the right parking opportunities are available for the public to use which will in turn help support our communities and town centres."
