New ‘pay-on-your-phone’ option for local car parks

 
16/05/2025 @ 10:50

 

From next Tuesday, motorists will have the option to pay for parking via their mobile phones at all Powys County Council’s pay and display car parks.

Many of the council-owned car parks have pay and display machines that accept card payments, but from Tuesday, all car parks will accept payments via the PayByPhone app which has three steps:

  • entering the location number (displayed on the signs near the pay and display machines)
  • selecting how long you would like to park for
  • and paying.

Users will also be able to use the app to pay for extended parking without having to return to the vehicle. There is also an ‘opt-in’ option to receive text message reminders of when parking sessions are about to expire.

Cllr Jackie Charlton, Cabinet Member for a Greener Powys, said: “The option to pay for parking via your mobile phone in all council carparks has arrived in Powys.

“The PayByPhone app will be an excellent addition to our carpark facilities. Many of us find making mobile parking payments ultimately more convenient, as you don’t need to worry about having the right change with you while you are out and about.”

You can download the PayByPhone app from the App Store or Google Play Store or visit the PayByPhone website www.paybyphone.co.ukfor more details.
