New 'tap-and-go' parking meters installed

Twenty new parking meters are being installed in the Cavan Town area. Work began last week on installation of the new meters, which will be capable of taking digital, card or coin payments.

The investment, first announced towards the end of last year, will be followed by the launch of a new cashless payment system and online app.

Plans for the upgrade to pay-and-display facilities were first unveiled at the monthly meeting of Cavan County Council in June.

A spokesperson for Cavan County Council confirmed to The Anglo-Celt previously that work is “ongoing” to put in place the required IT infrastructure to implement a new payment system and app.

It was stated that the new payment system would be launched following the installation of the machines in “early in 2023”.
