Pay on Exit
Eleven car parks in seven towns are being moved over to pay on exit technology as part of the Council’s Positive Parking Framework.
The move to pay on exit will make it easier for customers as well as support local economies.
Pay on exit parking has been shown to encourage people to stay longer in town centres. This is because they don’t have to rush back to their car when their car parking ticket is running out.
It also means civil enforcement officers (CEOs) will not be tied up having to check pay and display tickets. This frees them up to do more work taking action where cars are parked illegally.
