Paying for Your Car Parking
- Charged Hours:
- Mon - Sat: 08.30-18.30
- Sun: No charge
There are two convenient ways to pay for parking: the newly installed pay machines located in all our off-street car parks or through the RinGo App. The new machines accept cash and contactless payments and require you to enter your vehicle registration number. You do not need to display a ticket in your vehicle as your payment is verified electronically.
The update increases the available payment options from two to three, giving motorists greater flexibility and convenience. Drivers can still choose to pay by cash, via RingGo or can take advantage of the new contactless card payment option directly at the machine.
The new machines also support the Council’s environmental commitments. The machines are solar powered and eliminate the need for nonrecyclable paper tickets helping to reduce carbon emissions.
The updated machines guide users through a simple step by step process:
- Enter your vehicle registration number
- Confirm using the green button
- Pay with coins or selected parking time required using the +/- buttons for card payments
- Tap your card or insert coins to pay
By entering vehicle registration details, drivers no longer need to display a paper ticket on their dashboard, as traffic attendants verify payment through their handheld system. This operates in the same way that payment information is already checked for parking payments via RingGo.
