JustPark is now live across Rutland County Council sites via the National Parking Platform. Here's what the NPP means for drivers and UK councils.

27th August  2026 – London, UK – JustPark users can now park and pay across all Rutland County Council parking sites, following their connection to the National Parking Platform (NPP).

The expansion means drivers can now use both JustPark’s app and website to park and pay for parking at sites across Rutland, unlocking hundreds of new parking spaces. In addition, JustPark exclusively lists a vast choice of local pre-bookable private and commercial spaces, meaning motorists no longer need multiple apps to pay for parking both locally and nationwide. 

The NPP, supported by the Department for Transport, is being rolled out across the UK to modernise parking services and create a more open, competitive ecosystem. By allowing drivers to choose their preferred parking app, it removes unnecessary complexity and makes parking simpler and more convenient. It also enables councils to offer greater flexibility in how parking payments are delivered, whilst reducing the need for costly procurement processes for individual app providers.

Jonathan Hampson, Chief Commercial Officer at JustPark, said: : “The National Parking Platform’s roll-out in Rutland marks another milestone in its continued expansion across the UK. The NPP puts power back into drivers’ hands, allowing them to choose their preferred app and encouraging real competition amongst providers. JustPark is proud to support the NPP's national roll-out and we look forward to seeing further councils follow their lead."

Frequently asked questions about the National Parking Platform

What is the National Parking Platform? The National Parking Platform is a Department for Transport-backed initiative that gives UK councils a single way to accept parking payments from any approved app. Councils integrate once and their sites become available to every app on the platform, so drivers can use whichever app they prefer.

Where can I see which councils are live on the NPP? The official list of live councils is maintained on the NPP website at npp.org.uk. Rutland County Council is the latest authority to go live, with the platform continuing to roll out to further authorities.

Is JustPark available on the NPP? Yes. JustPark is an approved NPP provider, so any council that joins the platform makes its sites available to the 14 million UK drivers who use JustPark, with no additional integration work required at the council's end.

Does the NPP replace the parking app a council already uses? No. The NPP works alongside existing providers. Drivers keep using whichever app they prefer, and the council receives the payment through one connection.
