Work has begun to install new payment machines at a Lichfield car park.

The current pay and display system at The Friary Car Park is being replaced by an ANPR pay on exit one.

It will mean vehicles have their number plates registered as they enter and then use new terminals to input their number plate to pay their parking fee when they are ready to exit.

Lichfield District Council leader, Cllr Doug Pullen, said:

> “We are delighted work has begun on the new payment machines at The Friary Car Park.   
>  
> “The new pay on exit system will greatly improve the experience for customers as it removes any worry about having to return by a certain time associated with pay and display. The ANPR technology makes this possible.   
>  
> “It is not being introduced to enforce but to record the time a vehicle spends in the car park and establish the correct tariff charge.  
>  
> “Work to install the new machines is scheduled to be completed in early December.”  
>  
> Cllr Doug Pullen, Lichfield District Council

Drivers will be able to pay by cash, credit and debit card or use smart devices such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Residents and permit holders of the Franciscan View retirement complex will be on an approved list, so will be able to leave without payment.
