More information about the scheme

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,

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.
