The first phase of installing cashless payment machines in Pembrokeshire County Council’s car parks is about to start with Tenby one of the first areas included in the start of the change over.

The Authority’s Cabinet decided earlier this year to phase out the traditional cash machines in favour of cashless payments, that is payment by card not via an app or phone.

Phase 1 involves one machine in each of the following car parks in Tenby - North Beach, Salterns, and The Green being altered to accept cards and contactless payment.

For the time being there will still be an alternative machine at each location accepting cash.

From April 1, 2021, the Council will not be accepting cash payments at its Pay and Display machines.

The following car parks in Pembrokeshire will also be part of the first phase - Haverfordwest - Castle Lake, Perrots Road, Rifleman Field, St Thomas Green; Dale - seafront; St Dogmaels - High Street.
