As quite a lot of Hereford supporters use the Merton Meadow car park, this press release from Herefordshire Council may be of interest.
One app to make parking easier for Herefordshire drivers
Herefordshire Council has announced that JustPark will become its official parking provider for those who wish to pay online for council-owned parking spaces across the region, as of 7 January 2025.
Parking sessions can be booked via the JustPark app, available on iOS and Android, which is free to download and is rated highly for its simplicity and ease of use*. Payment through the JustPark website and via calling a local rate number - 01432 805339 - will also be available, ensuring residents can pay using their preferred method.
In addition to using JustPark for drive-up parking needs in Herefordshire’s on-street spaces and off-street car parks, those using the JustPark app and website also gain access to JustPark’s nationwide marketplace of pre-bookable spaces, ideal for attending events or traveling further afield.
The council is making the switch as the previous contract is expiring and JustPark were successful in an open tender process.
“Cllr Barry Durkin, Cabinet Member for Roads and Regulatory Services at Herefordshire Council, said: "We are pleased to partner with JustPark. Their seamless offering, exceptional customer service, and innovative approach will deliver immediate benefits for Herefordshire residents and our many visitors. This partnership reflects our commitment to improving parking services across the county. Motorists should be assured that their parking may also be paid for by cash and with cards.”
“I ask that those who frequently choose to pay for parking via the app download the JustPark app as soon as they can, and only from their official app store.”
Jonathan Hampson, Chief Commercial Officer at JustPark, added: “We look forward to working with Herefordshire Council to deliver a reliable, secure, and user-focused parking solution. Our priority is a smooth switchover, followed by delivering high satisfaction rates. JustPark is on a mission to make parking easier, more accessible, and more affordable for everyone across Herefordshire.”
