Description

Kingston Council intends to join the National Parking Platform, a system funded via transaction fees on parking charges. This integration will provide local parking users with a centralised facility to select from various apps offered by multiple parking service providers. As part of these services, providers will handle fee collection, perform monthly transaction reconciliations, and remit the collected parking revenue back to the Council.
