Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) says it is bringing car parking machines up to date in Keyworth, West Bridgford and Rushcliffe Country Park.
From Monday October 12 the machines will be replaced following on from investment in new machines in Bingham last year.
Keyworth’s Bunny Lane car park, West Bridgford’s Bridgford Road, Gordon Road and Nursery/Albert Road car parks and Rushcliffe Country Park car park facilities will be updated.
During the works, motorists may not be able to purchase a ticket from a machine at certain times and are encouraged instead to use the RingGo app.
If motorists can’t use this option and a machine is not available, enforcement action will not be taken. Any car parking charges will remain the same.
When arriving at a car park, motorists can download the RingGo app, call, text or pay online.
Where a free period is offered within pay and display car parks, motorists can obtain a free voucher from the parking machine to take advantage of this free period.
Alerts to motorists’ phones ensure they’re always aware a parking period is due to finish and it takes a few easy steps to extend their parking time.
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Environment and Safety Cllr Rob Inglis said: “We’re pleased to offer RingGo at all of our chargeable car parks in the Borough and it’s the far more convenient way to pay for parking.
“We know some still prefer to use a ticket machine hence our ongoing investment to meet everyone’s needs.
“But if you haven’t used RingGo yet why not try it? It’s a cashless system where you can use a credit or debit card and pay by phone or online in a matter of moments.
“It provides helpful features such as reminders about your expiry and has the option to easily extend your parking without having to return to your car, as an additional option, if you need more time in our town and village centres.”
