Liverpool City Council is rolling out Pay By Plate parking in the Liverpool CBD.
Pay By Plate parking means tickets will no longer be issued from parking meters. Instead, drivers must enter their car number plate into the meter and then pay by either cash or credit card.
Parking meters are being progressively updated throughout the CBD starting from Monday 19 August 2019 and finishing by 31 August 2019.
“Pay By Plate parking allows drivers to park their car, pay at the meter and then go on their way,” Liverpool Mayor Wendy Waller said. “There is no need to return to their car to display a ticket.
“It’s not just a win for drivers – not having to print tickets will help Council to save money while also being better for the environment.”
Drivers will still be able to take advantage of 15 minutes free parking in the CBD but will have to enter their number plate into parking meters to do so. One session of 15 minutes free parking will be available per day.
Pay By Plate is the latest in a series of measures by Council to improve parking in the CBD. Council recently added 106 parking spaces at Woodward Park with a further 120 to be delivered by the end of the year.
Council is also exploring options for multi-storey car parks at Collimore Park and Bathurst Street.
