Currently this includes two mobile phone apps, which allow
people to pay for their parking directly from their phone.
Last year as part of ongoing work to simplify how parking
is administered and paid for, the Council reviewed both existing mobile apps
payment options, which are the Phone2park app and the PayMyPark app.
Following this evaluation, a decision was made to
discontinue the use of Phone2Park and continue with PayMyPark. This will
improve administration of the parking system and simplify payment options for
customers. The operator of the Phone2park app was advised in July 2018 of the
Council’s decision to no longer offer the Phone2park app and it was agreed that
there would be an 18 month time period where customers could continue to use
the app and use up any available credit.
The Phone2Park will no longer be accepted as a payment
for on-street parking from 7 January 2020 so those currently using the
Phone2Park mobile app have until then to use up any available credit.
However payment for on-street parking will still be able
to be made from a mobile phone using the PayMyPark mobile app.
In addition the Council provides a number of other ways
to pay for on street parking. These include cash, debit and credit cards and
text-to park-options.
