Castries, the capital city of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean, is set to begin installing parking terminals across the city as part of a new initiative by the Castries Constituencies Council (CCC), with the aim of improving safety and security in the city.

The new parking terminals from UK manufacturer, 92 Metric Group, are solar powered, accept both coin and banknotes and have a colour user interface screen. The solar powered terminals are in keeping with the island’s energy transition strategy in becoming renewable energy dependent.
