To enable Red Meadow car park in Ross on Wye to allow four hours of free parking per visitor a day. This will be operational from period 21 June 2024 to 19 July 2024.

This will involve changing the parking machines, changing the RingGo parking app, and informing CEOs on the ground in Ross-on-Wye regarding these changes.
We will also make changes so that no vehicle can park for more than one four hour period per day.

These changes will then need to be reversed at the end of the free 4 hours parking period i.e 19 July 2024
