The Government has committed to delivering simpler parking nationwide through the roll out of a ‘one app fits all’ parking platform.
The National Parking Platform (NPP), which will enable drivers to pay for parking on their preferred app in all participating car parks, will be developed and run by the British Parking Association (BPA).
Minister for the Future of Roads, Lilian Greenwood, said: ‘This Government is on the side of drivers and dedicated to giving everyone simpler, more flexible parking.
‘I’m delighted that this fantastic project is being taken on by the parking sector with no extra cost to taxpayers.’
Andrew Pester, BPA chief executive, added: ‘Today’s announcement marks the result of six years of dedicated work by our parking sector to make paying for parking easier.
‘We’ve strongly supported the National Parking Platform from the start, so we’re thrilled with this outcome and excited to collaborate with the Department for Transport and the new NPP company to create a better parking experience for all drivers.’
