New pay and display machines are being installed in parts of the Royal Borough of Greenwich, to help make parking easier for shoppers and businesses.

The first machines have just been installed in all council-run car parks and around Woolwich Town Centre, replacing the old-style meters. The next phase will see the new-style machines replacing lollypop meters in Greenwich, towards the end of autumn.
