Residents and visitors parking in Rushcliffe’s car parks can use Ring Go cashless parking as the easy way to extend their parking stay when out shopping or enjoying a bite to eat during the festive period.
With thousands set to descend on car parks across the Borough in the coming weeks, those who need to extend their car parking a little longer to purchase gifts, enjoy a meal or get those last-minute essential items can do so easily via their mobile using the Ring Go service.
Alerts to motorists’ phones ensure they’re always aware a parking period is due to finish and it takes a few easy steps to extend their parking time.
The easy to use facility has been used over 31,000 times in car parks across the Borough since it was introduced in November 2018 by Rushcliffe Borough Council.
When arriving at a car park, motorists should download the Ring Go app, call, text or pay online at www.myringgo.co.uk across the Council’s seven Pay and Display car parks at:
- West Bridgford: Bridgford Road, Gordon Road and Nursery/Albert Road car parks
- Rushcliffe Country Park
- Keyworth: Bunny Lane car park
- Bingham: Needham Street and Union Street car parks
Where the council offers a free period within its pay and display car parks, the motorist can obtain a free voucher from the parking machine to take advantage of this free period.
The scheme also ensures there is no longer the need for motorists to hunt for change and place a printed ticket in their vehicle.
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Executive Manager for Neighbourhoods Dave Banks said: “Ring Go is the perfect way to ensure you can extend your shopping trip at our car parks this festive period in a matter of moments.
“Just use the Ring Go app on your phone or call or text if your parking period is set to expire and you need an extra hour or two shopping or out and about.
“We know over a third of people who park in West Bridgford for example often select one hour parking.
“At this time of year though we know shoppers might need a little longer and they can easily extend their stay when on the go on their mobile with this easy to use service.
“Motorists also do not have to worry about having the right amount of change with them and instead can use a credit or debit card and pay by phone or online in a matter of minutes in car parks where a charge is applicable.
“Whilst the conventional method of paying with coins remains available, try switching to this cashless scheme for further hassle free trips out.”

RingGo also offers the easy alternative to carrying cash for parking at Rushcliffe Country Park when you want to walk the dog or enjoy a winter walk.
The service is also available at Bunny Lane car park in Keyworth, where it’s just £1 for three hours parking.
