MOTORISTS parking in Torridge District Council's car parks will soon be able to do so without having to hunt for cash to put into the meter.
The council is introducing a quicker and more convenient way of paying for parking - by phone, using a credit or debit card.
It will also help them avoid penalties for overstaying their time!
Working in partnership with RingGo, the council will be offering the service from Monday, June 22, in all its car parks throughout the district.
You may also want to watch:
Once registered with RingGo, motorists will be able to ring a local telephone number (01237) 402405 to pay for parking, simply by giving the car park reference number on the pay and display machine and stating how long they wish to stay for.
Once parked, if motorists are running late for any reason, they can simply extend their parking time by the same method. No ticket is needed and they can even get a text reminder when they are running out of time!

Cllr Geoff Lee, Lead Member for Car Parks in Torridge, said: "This initiative is a welcome alternative to our pay and display machines and will give motorists the choice of how to pay for their parking."
