Motorists woul register their vehicles and credit or debit card details with the service provided charging a nominal fee of up to 20p.

Handheld computers used by parking wardens would register which vehicles were using the system.

The system would cost £3,200 to install with savings being made from cash counting and machine maintenance costs.
