Drivers have been warned by that card payments will be scrapped in Derbyshire Dales District Council car parks.
The authority will be dropping the option at their pay and display car parks later this year. This is due to mobile operators switching off their 3G networks.
The council wants to focus on the PayByPhone text payment service.
All car parks will also take cash payments.
A council spokesperson said: “We do not, in any case, offer the 3G-supported card payment service at some of our car parks due to poor signal strength in certain rural areas.”
