@Parkex_BPA @LilianGreenwood @TowerHamletsNow @boltoncouncil With each new council, the NPP is moving towards its goal of a national infrastructure for parking, built to simplify payments, improve service resilience and unlock richer data to support more informed decisions. 📍 #NationalParkingPlatform #parking #transport #OpenMarketParking

@Parkex_BPA @LilianGreenwood @TowerHamletsNow .@boltoncouncil also signed up in February, extending reach across Greater Manchester and expanding NPP adoption in the North West of England. 🚀

At @Parkex_BPA 2025, @LilianGreenwood, minister for local transport, described the National Parking Platform (NPP) as "quietly revolutionary" and it's now starting to change the parking landscape across the UK. 🅿️

With more local authorities set to join, the NPP is gaining momentum. Each new council that comes on board helps create a more connected parking network that works better for local gov’t, service providers & motorists. 🚀 #NationalParkingPlatform #parking #transport #OpenMarketParking

For motorists, the NPP provides greater choice. They can use their preferred app – based on features, price or convenience – across participating towns & cities, with no need to download a new one each time they park. 📱

The #NationalParkingPlatform is expanding. More local authorities are gearing up to join in the coming months – supporting a more efficient, consistent way to manage parking across the UK. 📍
