In off-street locations, the Elite LS terminals will all have HD video screens to promote local retailers. These terminals will also be fitted with keypads for number plate entry for car parks.

The council has also upgraded their alert system to METRIC’s comprehensive back office system with Real Time Reg and Web Services.
