National Parking Platform
The National Parking Platform (NPP) makes paying for parking easier and more flexible by giving residents and visitors a choice of trusted parking apps at participating pay and display car parks.
How it works
The NPP is not a parking app. It is a shared system that connects approved apps to the same parking location. This means you can use an app you already have instead of downloading a different one whenever you visit a new area.
To book parking, open your preferred approved parking app and enter the location code shown at the car park and on street locations, as you normally would.
