Peterborough city centre car park to close for two days as new ticketless barrier installed
People urged to park at near-by Pleasure Fair Meadow Car Park
Motorists are being warned of a car park closure in Peterborough city centre.
The Riverside car park – located near the Crown Court, Key Theatre and Embankment – will be closed on Tuesday, October 1 and Wednesday, October 2.
The closure is needed to install a new ticketless barrier.
Work on similar systems has been completed at the Car Haven and Sand Martin House multi-story. Entry and exit is now via an ANPR linked barrier and allow customers to pay for their parking at the end of their stay based on how long they have been in the car park.
Cars will enter via the barriers and pay for their parking at the end of their parking session. Either visit a pay terminal, pay online by scanning the QR codes in the car parks or pay via contactless at the exit barriers. You will need to enter your registration number into the payment terminals or online in order to pay.
Cashless payment apps currently available in pay and display areas will no longer be able to be used in these 3 barrier controlled car parks.
The Riverside car park is the closest car park to the Bridge Fair that is currently taking place. Peterborough City Council said alternative parking was available at the Fair Meadow Car Park on Oundle Road near Town Bridge.
