FAQs about changes to paying for parking in our multi-storey car parks
Why are you changing the payment system?
The automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system which has been used at our multi-storey car parks has come to the end of its life and needs to be replaced. We have therefore been exploring the options available to us for High Street, Grafton and Buckingham Road multi-storey car parks.
We implemented the ANPR system at Worthing's multi-storey car parks in 2014. Since then, a portion of motorists have had problems because the technology fails to read their number plates correctly, which means they can't drive in, pay or leave after their visit.
The current system is unreliable and is increasingly suffering from outages. It's also expensive to keep going, requiring significant maintenance each year.
We have therefore decided to install new payment machines at our multi-storey car parks rather than buying the new number plate technology.
The new system is in place at the recently revamped Buckingham Road multi-storey car park and will replace the old ANPR system at High Street and Grafton in the new year.
How will the new system work at Worthing's multi-storey car parks?
Instead of paying when customers leave, drivers will need to pay for their stay when they arrive, as they do at our surface car parks. At the payment machine, customers will be required to enter their vehicle registration number and select how long they wish to stay.
No ticket will be produced as there is no requirement to display a ticket on the dashboard of your car. The machine will log the fact that they have paid and will send details to the officer patrolling so they know the vehicle has a valid parking session in place.
Drivers will be able to pay using coins or by card at the machine, alternatively customers can use the MiPermit app to pay for parking, where they can also easily extend their stay. The changes mean we'll have more members of our parking team out and about in the car parks and will be able to speak to customers who need help.
We believe the new system will also reduce congestion after events in the town, such as bonfire night, when everyone is wanting to leave at the same time. Previously the ANPR system has led to significant delays at the payment machines.
Which parking sites will receive the new system first?
The new system is live at Buckingham Road multi-storey car park, which has recently reopened following a full refurbishment. We are aiming to have the new system implemented at High Street and Grafton in February 2025.
Won't losing ANPR reduce the amount of time people spend in our town centre?
Anyone paying by app will be able to extend their length of stay without returning to the car park, and we do expect more people to pay by app when the new system is fully adopted. Currently, 45% of visitors pay via the app when visiting our surface car parks at High Street and Liverpool Gardens (Montague Centre car park).
People paying at machines can walk back to their car park to top up their stay at the machines, which will be located near the exits/entrances. Alternatively, they can use the MiPermit app to create a new parking session or extend an existing MiPermit session.
How do I extend my stay on the MiPermit app?
If you pay by the app a countdown for your parking session will automatically appear. Users of the app can also request a notification to their phone to remind them when their current parking session has nearly expired. When paying by the app, you can easily extend your parking session while away from your vehicle. In order to make a payment via the app, you will need to enter your vehicle registration number, the location code for the car park and select how long you wish to park for.
Will the new system be more user-friendly?
Despite our best efforts, the ANPR technology has not been particularly user-friendly for those who are not tech savvy, even when the system works as it should. Users often need support from our staff via the intercom to make their payment. Under the new system, we'll have more staff to provide help if people need it.
Once paid, do you need to return to your car to display a parking ticket?
No. Where the new system has been implemented, people will not be required to place a ticket in their car. If you pay at the machine you can print a receipt to take with you.
Will the price of parking increase as a result of the changes?
No, the price of parking will not change as a result of the new system. The car park tariffs remain value for money and are low compared to comparable town centres.

How will the new system affect town centre workers or guests staying at hotels?
We know the town centre workers deal and hotel concession is popular with businesses and their employees, providing discounted parking for people who work locally.
The changes we are implementing will mean town centre workers and hotel guests will need to register using the MiPermit app, in a similar way that residents do within the controlled parking zone.
Once registered they will be able to purchase permits in bulk and activate them as and when they need them. They can be activated one day at a time or up in bulk - customers can activate as many permits they wish in one go. Once activated permits can also be cancelled at any point prior to them going live. Users of the scheme will never have to go to a payment machine.
The permits will be registered on the system and users will not need to display anything in their vehicles. They will also be able to come and go during the day as they currently do.
The change in technology does not affect the day rate, which currently stands at £6.40 (plus the 20p administration fee). Drivers can purchase season tickets for our car parks, details of this are available on our website. The advantage of the town centre workers deal is that it offers better value for money for drivers who do not use the service every day and stay longer than four hours.
