Phone and Pay

Motorists visiting South Somerset can use our cashless phone and pay service to pay for parking charges in our car parks. Provided by BemroseBooth Mobile, you can register your vehicle details either online or by calling 01935 314844. You will need the car park reference in found in the table below to register. 

Alternatively, download the Phone and Pay app, free of charge, on the Android Play Store or Apple App Store.

Your previous parking history can also be viewed online and through the app and VAT receipts can be emailed once a parking session has been paid for. 

Where permitted, you can top up a parking session from distance to vehicle, opt for SMS reminders when a session is close to expiring and use the 'Find my Vehicle' function to locate your vehicle on busy days. 

Car parks include the following where pay and display charges are in place at present. The 'Ref No' indicated will be needed when using this service.

If you experience any problems using this service, contact Bemrose Booth customer services on 01727 299225. 

We use a fully electronic ticket system called MiPermit which means that you will not need to display a paper season ticket in your vehicle.

Details of your season ticket are synchronised with our Civil Enforcement Officers hand-held devices so they can see in real-time that you have a valid ticket to park your vehicle.

To purchase or renew your season ticket you do not need to register with MiPermit. You can simply use the system to make your purchase. This will cover the use of one vehicle in the selected car park.

Registering a full account with MiPermit provides additional control over your ticket, such as the ability to edit daily which vehicle the season ticket applies. These alterations are free of charge.

If you are not able to apply or renew your season ticket online, you can also make payments by calling 0345 520 7007.

The residents' parking scheme and permits are operated by Somerset County Council. 

Any queries about new residents parking zones or amending the existing zones should be addressed to SCC Highways office at Countyroads-southsom@somerset.gov.uk or call 0300 123 2224.

For any queries, refunds or applications for permits, visit Somerset County Council or call 0345 520 7007.
