Parking meter faults

Please be aware of scams involving fake QR codes on pay-and-display parking meters. Recent scams across the country have seen fake QR codes places on parking signage and meters that once scanned takes the user to fraudulent websites that takes their details and payment.

We don’t have QR codes on any of our machines across the city.

If a parking meter is faulty, please use another parking meter with the same tariff and purchase a parking ticket, or use PaybyPhone cashless parking. You can purchase your parking session using the PaybyPhone app on your smart device, online, or by phone. To register and pay for your parking, visit the PaybyPhone website, download the app or call 01224 510 510.

When leaving the car park the barrier will scan your vehicle registration and recognise that payment has been made and raise the barrier. In the event that you have forgotten to pay the terminal at the exit barrier will prompt you for the amount due which can be paid via contactless payment at the exit barrier.
