The Peak Park introduced charging at a string of car parks recently.

Now, stickers advertising the Ringgo app have appeared. A Peak Park spokesman said it allowed drivers to pay when they had signal, within 24 hours.

But the Hook’s Car machine wasn’t showing as broken on their systems and they would send someone out to look at it, he added.
