‘It’s ageist’: Parking row sees elderly drivers demand to use cash not apps

A poll run by a local paper saw 87 percent of 2,800 people in favour of still having a cash option at car parks.

And social media users were keen to have their say on the story, with one writing on facebook that: “RingGo is so convenient though. Who still carries loose change around these days? I couldn’t tell you the last time I used cash.”

But another argued: “There’s nothing safer than standing in a dark or isolated car park with your phone, wallet and credit card in your hand, trying to pay a £1.50 parking fee.

“My bank actually blocked my card the other week because their fraud team thought me paying to park in Folkestone was unusual.”
