Work is being carried out at 12 car parks across Cornwall, including Millpool in Looe and Fowey’s main car park, to ensure they are ready for a new pay on exit system by Easter.

Cornwall Council has said there will be some disruption while the new technology and barriers are installed. Some of the car parks will be closed, or operating at reduced capacity, before reopening as pay on exit.

Pay on exit means that the motorist takes a ticket at the barrier when entering the car park, pays at the machine when ready to leave and then inserts the ticket via the exit barrier.
