      Response

      This information is held
       
      1 - Total number of parking machines within our car parks is 45
      2 - No machines will need to be completely replaced to cater for the new £1 coin
      3 - Of the 45 machines we have 35 can be 'retuned' which essentially means a software update
      4 - To fully replace a parking meter would cost in the region of £2500 to £3500 depending on the type of machine used
      5 - To upgrade the software or retune a coin acceptor will cost £95 per machine
