Westminster Council is planning to replace all its parking meters within 12 months following a six-month trial of mobile phone ticketing technology.Westminster introduced cashless parking in the West End and Harrow Road last year to reduce the theft of £50,000 a week from parking meters, as well as to make life easier for motorists! - or so they say!
Drivers set up an account and pay by text, registering their registration details and parking bay number, which is then transmitted to attendants’ handheld computers in real time.
This is yet another example of Big Brother watching you. I thought we had enought CCTV cameras now you have to text the council the location of your car in order to park it - what next?
