Blue Boar Lane

Changes to Blue Boar Lane car park

Blue Boar Lane car park now uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR).

There are flow plates at the entry to the car park. These are designed to only allow a vehicle to travel one way.

These should be crossed at a maximum speed of 5mph and in a straight line.

The metal pegs will drop down as your vehicle moves over the plates and pop back up to stop vehicles traveling back out the entrance.

There is a barrier at the exit.

Blue Badges

If you're a Blue Badge holder you can still park for free, but you must register your Blue Badge and vehicle details before you enter the car park.

Permit holders

We have automatically updated all existing late night permit and worshipper parking permit holders. Any new applications will be processed by our Parking Service. Please allow up to 7 to 10 working days for any new applications to be processed.

If you're a holder of a late night or worshipper permit, you do not need to contact us. 

You must continue to display your permit when parked.

This is a Park Mark car park.

If you have any queries, you can either call from the help button at the barrier or contact the Parking Office by:

• phoning 01634 331 760
• emailing parkingenforcement@medway.gov.uk.

Monday to Sunday from 7am to 1am (including bank holidays).

New charging period starts at 7am.

Parking is free for:

• Blue Badge holders
• motorcycles (in marked bays only).

Phone

You can pay by using the Go Mobon app on your phone. The location code is 79450.

You can also pay using RingGo PayLater.

This works in a slightly different way; you will not need to pay for parking until you return to your vehicle.

How RingGo PayLater works:

• the ANPR camera will record your time of arrival
• open the RingGo app or go to the RingGo website when you return to your vehicle
• select the correct location code (79450)
• select the duration of your stay
• pay for your stay before leaving the car park
• drive to the barrier and exit the car park.

If you do not enter the correct duration the barrier will not open. You will then need to either enter the RingGo app or website again, or use the contactless card option at the barrier, to pay for the balance of your parking.

Online

You can register for Autopay and set up automatic parking payments.

Pay station

Pay using coin, card or contactless at the pay station next to the vehicle entry before returning to your vehicle. You’ll need to enter your vehicle registration and pay the fee shown on the screen.

After you have paid

Once you have paid, you must return to your vehicle and leave the car park immediately. The camera will read your vehicle registration and raise the barrier.

Payment at exit barrier (ITSME)

Contactless card payment may be made by driving directly to the exit barrier. The camera will read your vehicle registration and you will then be asked to follow the instructions on the screen. 

79450

There are 3 motorcycle bays.

Motorcycles

The motorcycle parking bays are outside the car park and will not be affected by the ANPR system.
