We're aware of scam messages being sent to some residents, asking for parking fines to be paid and giving deadlines to pay by. We do not request payment by text message or WhatsApp. You can report scam messages to the National Cyber Security Centre.

National Parking Platform

Drivers in Buckinghamshire will be able to take advantage of an innovative new scheme in council car parks and many on street locations in the county.

The National Parking Platform (NPP) is a national pilot supported by the Department of Transport which aims to provide customers with greater flexibility in paying for parking.

The NPP lets you select your preferred payment provider at council car parks and on street locations, instead of having to use a specific service or app.

We have joined this scheme early so that we can offer:

customer choice
multiple payment providers
competitive pricing
improved customer experience

Payment can be made by downloading the preferred payment provider's app on your smartphone or by ringing their automated payment line from any phone.

The payment machines can also still be used in these car parks.

The payment providers and apps available

Each provider has their own app, contact number and fees.

If you don't already have an account, you can sign up on their websites, by downloading the App ,or by calling them:

Fees

Fees are set by the supplier and may change. ‘Additional SMS’ refers to the text confirmation and reminders of parking expiry time.
Service	PayByPhone	RingGo	JustPark	Appyparking
Convenience fee	10p	10p	10p	20p
Additional SMS	15p	15p	10p	N/A
