New RingGo parking payment app introduced across South Kesteven District Council car parks

A new app has been launched to allow people to pay for parking from their mobile phones.

South Kesteven District Council has introduced RingGo parking into its pay and display car parks.

The new system launched today (Tuesday), allowing motorists to book, manage and pay parking from their mobile devices.

A spokesperson for SKDC said: “The introduction of the service across the 11 SKDC car parks where we charge is more convenient for many residents and visitors.

“It will offer a flexible and convenient way to pay for parking without the need to go to a parking machine.

“Once registered for a RingGo account, which can be done by downloading the app to any mobile device, motorists can manage their booking online, whether by extending parking without returning to the vehicle, or by saving details for faster booking in the future.”

In January this year, SKDC car parks were upgraded to allow card and contactless payments.

In Grantham, there are car parks at Welham Street (328 spaces), Guildhall Street (88 spaces), Watergate (100 spaces), Wharf Road (260 spaces) and Conduit Lane (47 spaces).

In Stamford, SKDC runs North Street (107 spaces), Bath Row (97 spaces), St Leonards Street (34 spaces), Scotgate (65 spaces), Wharf Road (224 spaces) and Cattle Market (275 spaces).
