LB Westminster is to replace its traditional parking meters and cash pay-and-display machines with a pay-by-phone scheme
It will begin the changeover from autumn, with all 3,700 meters across the borough to be axed by December 2008.
Motorists can sign up to the scheme by providing the council with their name, credit card details and vehicle registration number. Once signed up, they can either call up or send a text message with the length of time they want to stay and the parking bay reference number.
