National Parking Platform

The National Parking Platform (NPP) is a national initiative supported by the Department for Transport, designed to make parking simpler, more flexible, and more customer-focused.

What is the National Parking Platform?

The National Parking Platform allows drivers to choose how they pay for parking, rather than being restricted to a single provider or app.

At participating Bassetlaw District Council car parks, drivers can select their preferred parking payment provider, giving greater choice and improving the overall parking experience.

Why Bassetlaw District Council has joined the NPP

By joining the National Parking Platform, Bassetlaw District Council is able to offer:

  • Greater customer choice
  • Multiple parking payment providers
  • Competitive pricing
  • A more flexible and modern parking experience

This approach helps future-proof our parking services while putting our customers first.

How to Pay

Payment can be made by:

  • Downloading your preferred payment provider’s app on a smartphone
  • Calling the provider’s automated payment line from any phone

Where payment machines are available, these can still be used in participating car parks.

Available Payment Providers

Available providers may include:

Each provider has its own app, contact number, and fees.

Fees

Fees are set by each individual payment provider and may vary.

Any additional SMS charges relate to optional text message confirmations and parking expiry reminders.
