Hereford: Parking Machine Upgrades across Herefordshire

 

Parking Machine Upgrades Underway Across Herefordshire
New Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM) keypads are being installed on pay and display parking machines across Herefordshire this week.

The work began on 16 April and is expected to take around five days to complete.
These upgrades are part of wider changes to parking across the county, including the introduction of a free 30-minute parking option from 23 April.

Please be aware:
While the machines are being updated, there may be some disruption or changes to how they look and operate. Please take extra care to read the new on-screen instructions and signage when using them.

The JustPark app is not affected and can be used as normal.
