Brentwood Council is introducing a significant investment in car park technology by installing automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras and contactless payment machines at two key car parks. The Coptfold Road multi-storey has already seen these upgrades, with plans set for William Hunter Way and Chatham Way by October. Councillor David Kendall highlighted the long-standing issue of limited payment options and expressed optimism about improvements making life easier for residents. Funding for this initiative comes from a £250,000 allocation in the 2025/26 capital program, marking a notable advancement in the town’s parking services.
Councillor David Kendall expressed his frustration about the lack of contactless payment options in the car parks, emphasizing it as 'ridiculous in these modern times'.
