Aberdeenshire Council is to introduce cashless parking across the region. The council has teamed up with RingGo which allows motorists to pay via a mobile phone app, by text or by phone.
The traditional methods of paying for parking will, however, continue to be available for those unable to use the new system.
Personally I prefer just to make use of the free first 30 minutes!
