More infoNorth York Moors National Park Authority (NYMNPA) is planning to introduce cameras in its car parks to stop motorists parking without paying. The authority will trial an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system at Newton-under-Roseberry Car Park, near Great Ayton, where almost one in five drivers fail to buy a ticket. The ANPR system would reconcile vehicle data against payments made via the existing parking machines and pay-by-phone system. Officers hope that as well as improving compliance, it would reduce vandalism and anti-social behaviour at the car park with the meeting told that thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused to the Newton-under-Roseberry Car Park toilets at the weekend. Officers also hope some staff time savings would be generated from car park wardens not having to undertake physical enforcement work at Newton-under-Roseberry.
