Cash-free parking is set for the borough for all on and off-street parking except the town centre’s multi-storey car parks.
Commuters driving from the south and south-east of London register once, park anywhere along a corridor through Bromley, Lewisham or Southwark, and use the same phone number and parking system.
The contract was awarded to RingGo who have installed the system in eight other London boroughs.
RinGo’s website says users must pay it around 20p on top of their normal charge.
The system is widespread to the west of London and across Kent. RingGo sales director, Terry New said: “Wherever we launch, we see a large number of existing users adopt the service immediately.
“Our experience is that at any new site, about a third of customers will have used RingGo elsewhere. But with such a high concentration of RingGo sites surrounding Bromley, we would expect initial take up there to be
particularly good.”
The company is in the planning stages of installing the services but did not confirm when it would be finished.
You can avoid having to pay high London parking fees and fines and find free parking in London by using the Tube and our text service to find free parking near tube stations outside the congestion zone.
Simply text the word Parking and the name of a tube station OUTSIDE THE CONGESTION ZONE to 80039 and you’ll receive a text back giving you three locations near the tube, or the one closest to it on the same line.
this system is good, but for the past two weeks has not been working. it is very unfortunate and leaves people short, running around trying to get some cash to pay. someone needs to look at this, angela
