Gloucestershire County Council completed an upgrade to all on-street pay and display machines, which accept chip and pin and contactless card payments only, removing the option to make payment by cash/coin.
Please note that the MiPermit application remains in place for fully cashless/virtual parking stays.
As a result of this upgrade the previous pay per minute (up to the first two hours) has ceased and has been replaced with 15 minute increments, to ensure an efficient, flexible and customer friendly solution. This tariff structure is also consistent with the MiPermit app.
Please note that the minimum charge at each location has remained in place. At present, the pay and display charges have also remained at the same cost.
Please see below the full statement of reason, which sets out the details of why this upgrade has taken place.
The intend to notice includes the new tariff schedule (schedule B).
