CAR PARKS in Rochford have stepped into the 21st century by offering contactless payment.
Rochford District Council has introduced the “Wave and Pay” scheme into all of its car parks.
This means that pay and display machines will accept debit and credit cards that have a chip fitted allowing contactless payments. This provides motorists with the opportunity to make a speedier transaction for small payments without the need to enter a PIN number.
Keith Hudson, councillor responsible for transport, said: “Rochford District Council is always looking at new and innovative ways that can make life easier for residents and people who, work in or visit the District.
"Wave and pay technology provides a flexible and modern service for residents and visitors. By offering contactless parking payments we are providing motorists with as many options as possible.”
