BBC News OnlineParking at Le Port in St Peter has been restricted to 12 hours in order to deter vehicles from being left overnight or longer.
In addition to the time limit on parking, there will be changes to the layout of the car park so longer vehicles can't access the narrower areas.
Although camping or sleeping in a vehicle parked on public land is illegal, it has been informally tolerated by the parish authorities.
However, in recent years the popularity of camping in the area has grown to the point where the activities of some campers are causing problems for the honorary police at night, the Government of Jersey said.

These changes will assist the parish in properly regulating the area and ensuring that the car park is available to serve the needs of all users, particularly during peak summer months.

Teachers and police offered new pay deal by Statespublished at 11:08 Greenwich Mean Time 27 February 2019

BBC News OnlineAfter months of disputes over pay, teachers and police officers in Jersey have been offered a new deal.
The States Employment Board (SEB) has authorised the formal pay offers and unions have agreed to consult their members on the offers.
The offer is for the rate of inflation plus 1.3%.
Inflation is currently at 3.9% but ministers are looking at ways to bring that down.
Despite a new deal offer being promised on Monday - and unions calling off a strike based on this - it did not arrive until late on Tuesday evening
Until now, the SEB has always maintained there was no more money available for extra pay.
The offers for 2018 and 2019 have not changed.
Image caption, A number of strikes over a pay deal have taken place in recent months
Quote MessageThese pay offers for 2020 demonstrate the government genuinely values our employees, and that we have listened to their concerns. We wish to ameliorate the impacts of pay constraint and the rising cost of living in recent years. The pay increases proposed are significant and compare well with similar roles in the private sector or in the UK public sector.
