No. However, if you do register you can take advantage of automatic payments.
Cameras at the entrance barrier will record your number plate and time of arrival. When you want to leave, you’ll pay via the methods mentioned above. The system will work out the time spent and the camera at the exit barrier will read your number plate. There’s no ticket to collect, however if needed, a receipt is available for online payments or from the machine.
There may be a small number of occasions when the cameras are unable to recognise a vehicle. Should you get stuck, press the intercom button at the car park exit points. They'll connect you to someone in our control room, which is manned 24/7.
You can't use RingGo in any of the ticketless car parks.
No, please ensure you provide the correct change for cash payments. If you do not have the exact change, you can always pay using an online account , contactless or card at the pay machine or via the mobile app. Don’t forget you’re only paying for the parking you've used, so you won't have to estimate how long you’ll need.
Yes it will. We are putting a password system in place for donors. At the end of your session, please ask a member of staff for the barrier password. Approach the exit barrier in your vehicle, press the button and tell the operator the password. The barrier will then be raised remotely.
Please make sure you read and accept our terms and conditions before using the system.
If you have any questions about the trial or the system, you can contact our Parking Facilities team.
If you drive in and are unable to find a space, there is a short period of time where you can get back out without needing to pay. This period is long enough for a couple of circuits of the car park to see if a space becomes available, but not long enough to sit and wait as you may do in a traditional pay and display car park.
Badge holders have to pay for parking in the four car parks during the trial. However, we are continuing to provide dedicated bays. Other local car parks will continue to offer free parking for Blue Badge holders for up to three hours.
For customers of the Marlowe Theatre, there are eight dedicated disabled spaces, as well as fifteen spaces in the dedicated disabled car park in Orange Street and six spaces in St Radigund’s car park. Find out where you can park .

There’s no need to do anything. Vehicles registered to park at any of the four sites will automatically be included in the trial. The system will recognise you as having paid, so you can park as normal.
You can't use your permit in a ticketless car park for the allotted time and day, as displayed on your permit. You can, however, use any neighbouring council 'Pay and Display' car park instead, for the same time and day as your permit allows. You don't need to change your permit, as our Enforcement Team are aware of the temporary changes during the trial.
We take automatic payments from you three times a month for any parking charges during that period. These will come directly from the credit or debit card account details you register with.
