Find a parking space
To see available on-street and off-street parking spaces download the AppyParking app. The app is free and available on iOS and Android.
Charge your electric car
You can use Zap Map to find your nearest on-street charge point.
If you have issues accessing PayByPhone
If you're experiencing issues accessing the app, text or telephone line, this could be mobile signal related and not a system issue. Check your signal, move to an alternative spot and try again.
If the PayByPhone app is down you may not be able to pay for parking until the problem is resolved.
If there is an outage on the app, parking enforcement for paid parking bays will be suspended. It will resume when the app is working again. Wait 15 minutes and try again.
