Shropshire Council has installed 25 new eco-friendly Parkeon StradaPAL parking terminals as part of a county-wide replacement programme involving up to 160 machines.
The new terminals, located both on and off street in Shrewsbury town centre and in Bridgnorth, enhance customer convenience through multiple payment options, including chip & pin, contactless and coin, and will also enable the council to provide print-on-demand discount coupons in the future.
The StradaPAL terminals are linked to Parkeon’s Parkfolio central management system, enabling the council to monitor their estate remotely and to obtain detailed parking and payment data to inform future strategies.
Steve Davenport, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for highways and transport, said: “These new, state-of-the-art machines mean we can now offer a modern, much improved, parking service, and we hope we’ll soon see similar machines in place around the county under our proposed new parking strategy.”
