The new machines will provide quicker and easier methods of payment for motorists and better management information. Being solar powered, the new meters contribute to the Council’s aim of reducing its carbon emissions.

The only alternative option would be to do nothing which has the following negative impacts.

• The existing meters will continue to deteriorate causing increased level of failure resulting in degradation of the service provided to residents and visitors.
• The inability to pay for parking using cards limits the choice of the residents and visitors to North Yorkshire resulting in a poorer experience.
• We will continue to have a lower level of performance information from the meters.
