NEW ticket machines will be installed in car parks across Wimborne and Ferndown next month.

The new pay and display machines will mean visitors are able to use debit and credit cards (including contactless), as well as cash when paying for parking tickets. A total of 24 machines will be installed at East Dorset District Council pay and display car parks, with the exception of the Crown Mead (Co-op) and High Street car parks.

The first machines will be installed in Allenview South and Westfield car parks.
