Paying for parking
Pay to park in all on-street bays and most council car parks by using your mobile phone. You do not need to display a ticket as our officers get the details of your payment straight to their handheld devices.
Please enter the correct registration number. If you register more than one vehicle, please be sure to pay for the correct one each time you visit as this may result in a penalty charge notice being issued.
Download your preferred app
The National Parking Platform (NPP) is a national pilot to provide customers with greater flexibility when paying for parking.
Choose your preferred provider and download the app from their website to register for an account in advance and see how it works. Users of the apps may be charged a small admin fee by suppliers.
Beware of fake parking apps and QR codes
You must download your preferred app using the link to the provider's official website below, or from the Apple Store or Google Play Store. None of our providers use QR codes, so if you see one on a pay and display machine or nearby, do not scan the link or share your personal information. These fake codes are not part of the official signs and are normally stuck on separately.
You can still use cash, card or contactless payments at our machines.
