Liverpool City Council is set to upgrade the city’s parking meters, aiming to improve convenience, reduce costs, and support the uptake of electric vehicles.

Cabinet approval is being sought next Tuesday for the installation of up to 80 new contactless-only machines in key locations.

The city currently operates around 230 machines, with 85% exceeding their 15-year design life. While most accept cash and some accept cards, nearly a third of parking income still comes in coins and notes.

The new rollout will leave 150 machines—two-thirds of all meters—still accepting cash, targeting only locations where cash usage persists.

Cllr Dan Barrington said: ‘Modernising our parking infrastructure is about delivering greater convenience and safety for everyone.

‘Going fully cashless in targeted locations will cut maintenance costs, reduce the risks of handling cash, and free up our skilled teams to focus on enforcement and resident support.’
