Shropshire Council parking machines are working as usual again after a computer glitch saw car park users stumped by technical issues for days.

Motorists were urged not to try to pay by card at Shropshire Council car parks after a technical glitch meant people were told their payments had been declined, but money was seemingly taken anyway.

The problem was affecting all of the council's car parks that have 'Flowbird' pay and display parking machines.

Now, the authority has said the issue appears to be sorted, and reported the machines to be working as normal.

A spokesperson said: "If you had tried to pay by card at a machine during the outage you will find pending payments on your account.

"But, these will clear within a few days, the money will not be taken from your account, and you will not have purchased a parking stay."
