Avenham multi-storey car park goes cashless.

From Tuesday 28 March, Avenham multi-storey car park is changing. In addition to offering a traditional pay and display facility, it will also offer a cashless system.

New payment machines have been installed throughout the car park, which will take payment in cash or via the ‘MiPermit’ app, ensuring maximum convenience.

The software enables customers to self-manage payments through their smart phones or via the website. An option is also available for customers to opt in for a 10p reminder text – this will allow you to extend your stay remotely while continuing your visit to the city.

Councillor Robert Boswell, Cabinet member for community and environment, said:

“With the introduction of the new, innovative software this will make visiting Avenham car park much easier and more convenient. You will no longer need to worry about carrying cash or rushing back to your car to top up the ticket.
“By managing your payments online it will become hassle free.
“Despite these changes Avenham car park will continue to be patrolled regularly, with CCTV cameras always recording.”
