Parking charges help generate a turnover of spaces to ensure that visitors can get parked close to their destination. It allows us to create short stay locations near town centres and long stay locations outside the main areas. These charges are also used to pay for the provision and maintenance of car parks throughout Fife.
There’s no evidence to indicate that parking charges prevent drivers from visiting our towns. Charges help manage parking to ensure that spaces close to key destinations are available, making it easier for anyone who wants or needs to be close to the town centre get a space.
We have a contactless payment option through RingGo available in all our charged car parks, allowing anyone with a Smartphone to pay for parking using an app.
All you have to do is download and register on the RingGo app. This will then provide you with payment options for the car park you’re in (using location services). The location codes are printed on each of the payment machines so you can confirm it’s the correct car park when using the app.
Once you’ve used the app once, it can save your details, making it easy to pay for parking on future trips anywhere which operates RingGo.
For vehicles parked causing an obstruction, on white zig-zag lines or in a way which is considered dangerous, this should be reported to Police Scotland by calling 101 or through their website. Fife Council can only issue tickets where formal parking restrictions are marked on the ground.
Normal enforcement measures are in place and any vehicle parked in a charged parking area could receive a Penalty Charge Notice if they fail to pay. Details of restrictions are shown on the entry signs within the car parks.
A contactless payment option is also available through the RingGo app - www.ringgo.co.uk
Information relating to our residents permit zones can be found on the Residents Parking Permits page.
Season tickets can be purchased at the link above, on this page.
Details on how to appeal a Penalty Charge Notice can be found on the reverse of the notice. We cannot accept appeals by phone or email, but appeals can be made online or in writing.
All parking restrictions are being enforced throughout Fife. The only exception is within Residents Parking Schemes.
