Car parking and the new £1 coin – an update: 16 August 2017

In Shrewsbury all of our on-street pay and display parking machines, plus the machines in all Shropshire Council car parks, now accept the new £1 coin.

In Ludlow, the machines in all Shropshire Council car parks now accept the new £1 coin. All on-street parking machines will accept the new £1 coin by the end of today (Wednesday 16 August).

In Bridgnorth, the machines in the Sainsbury’s, Innage Lane and Listley Street car parks accept the new £1 coin.

In Much Wenlock the machines in all Shropshire Council car parks will accept the new £1 coin.

In Church Stretton the machines in all Shropshire Council car parks will accept the new £1 coin.

All other machines will be converted shortly.

Once the machines have been converted to accept the new £1 coin they will no longer accept the old £1 coin. Note that the old coin will go out of circulation on 15 October.

As individual machines are converted, notices will be placed on them.

In Shrewsbury people also have the option of paying by phone at Frankwell, Bridge Street and St Austin’s Street car parks.

Until all machines have been converted our car park officers are aware that people may need to leave their vehicles for a short period while they find the correct coins.
