This article Westminster to trial mobile phone parking payments looks at how Westminster Council has become the latest borough to trial cashless parking payments, with drivers in central London able to purchase tickets with a mobile phone:
'Drivers in the busy West End and on Harrow Road can pay with a phone call or text message from today as part of the six-month trial.They can also top up parking fees without returning to the car, thereby avoiding an encounter with the area's wardens.
Parking attendants can check that the correct payment has been made using a handheld computer, meaning no proof of purchase is required.'
Fancy being mobile-surveyed by traffic wardens? Sorry... parking attendents!
