QR code scam: We do not use QR codes for parking payments. Scammers have been placing fake QR stickers on our pay and display machines, which we remove when found. Pay only via the RingGo app, website or the phone number below.
From October 2026, we are introducing new, improved parking payment machines across our car parks and on-street pay and display bays. As part of this move, we will remove the option to pay by cash. Find out more about our new payment machines and payment options.
You can pay for parking using RingGo in our car parks throughout the district.
RingGo is our cashless parking provider and allows you to pay for your parking without having to visit a pay and display machine - you just need a mobile phone and a credit or debit card.
You can either register for an account online or download the app on a smartphone.

If you are a new caller it will ask you for:
- your number plate, colour and make of your vehicle
- the location of where you are parked - each car park has its own individual location number on the tariff notice boards in the car park
- how long you want to park for
- your card details
Additional services such as a text reminder when your time is about to run out are available at an additional cost.
The next time you call, RingGo will remember your details from last time and will ask you:
- to confirm the vehicle that you want to park
- to confirm the location
- how long you want to park for
- your card security code
