CASHLESS IN AYRSHIRE
Motorists in South Ayrshire will be able to use a range of parking payment options after the local authority chose to replace its existing parking systems with RingGo’s cashless parking. While off-street parking has been using phone payments for some time, this is the fi rst time it has been made available in the borough for on-street parking. In addition, a further 560 on-street parking spaces have been created.
Councillor John McDowall, sustainability and environment portfolio holder for the council said: ‘This is a great system, which means you no longer need to carry change to be able to pay for parking and you don’t need to look for a parking machine to get a ticket. ‘It is something that I think will be appreciated by many different groups particularly drivers with young children, older passengers or people with mobility problems.’
RIOTS LEAD TO REWARDS
One of the unintended consequences of the 2011 riots in Croydon might be to give motorists and traders more short stay free parking.
Croydon Borough Council is proposing to convert seven parking bays into one-hour maximum-stay spaces, with the fi rst 30 minutes free. This was
one of the remedies suggested by businesses to regenerate the area after the 2011 disturbances.
Councillor Phil Thomas, cabinet member for highways and environmental services,
said: ‘Parking bays in areas such as these are hugely important for local businesses. By allowing drivers to stop and shop free of charge we can encourage a healthy turnover of trade.’
