Chichester District Council is reminding residents how they can access council services while the contact centre is closed over the Christmas period. 

 The councils main offices at East Pallant House, Chichester, will be closed from 1pm on Wednesday 24 December and will be re-opening on Friday 2 January 2026 at 9am. 

 While the contact centre is closed, people will still be able to access council services online through the Chichester District Council website: www.chichester.gov.uk. If residents have a district council related emergency during this time, they should call the councils emergency out of hours number on 01243 785339. 

 All parking restrictions and charges apply during the holidays and Civil Enforcement Officers will continue to work through the Christmas period. However, the councils parking administration office will be closed from 1pm on Wednesday 24 December, reopening at 9am on Friday 2 January 2026. Residents are asked to contact the team before midday on 24 December so that requests for parking services can be processed before the Christmas break.

 After this time, residents can still access a variety of parking services online including buying car park season tickets and digital parking stays, along with applying for resident permits and resident visitor permits. People can find out more information at: www.chichester.gov.uk/parking. The council recommends that motorists check the signs and lines before parking and always ensure that a valid exemption is in place. Parking issues can be reported online at: www.chichester.gov.uk/applyrep.... These reports go straight to the Civil Enforcement Officers on duty. To contact Parking Services, customers can call their out-of-hours messaging service on 01243 534500 or 01243 785339

 If residents have any queries about roads, pavements, and street lighting, or need to report a fault relating to them, they can contact West Sussex County Council by calling 01243 777100 or visiting www.westsussex.gov.uk.

 People can keep up to date with the latest news in the district by signing up to the councils email newsletter at www.chichester.gov.uk/newsaler... and following the councils social media channels:
