NEW parking machines are due to be installed in two public car parks in Malmesbury.

Wiltshire Council are currently erecting the new machines at the Station Road and Cross Hayes car parks.

Officials say they are more “robust” and “resilient” and will make it easier for drivers to pay for their parking.

A council spokesperson said: “We will be working in Station Road and Cross Hayes car parks in Malmesbury, to install new parking machines.

“Once complete, users will be able to pay for parking using cash, contactless with a card or mobile, the MiPermit app or by text.”

They added: “Payment machines in Wiltshire Council-run car parks will be upgraded this summer as part of a £380,000 investment programme.

“The work, which will take place between July and September, will see new more robust and resilient machines installed across the whole of Wiltshire, making it easier for people to pay for their parking.

“There will be minimal disruption to users during installation, as other machines will remain available to take payments.”
