People in Copeland can pay for parking using a new app.
The borough council has introduced the app to allow people to pay for their parking by phone in all of its pay and display car parks.
There are posters in the car parks explaining how to pay, using a number unique to each car park. The system also allows people to pay to extend their stay, without having to return to their car to buy another ticket.
The MiPermit app is an additional payment method and motorists can still pay with coins or a card. Parking charges have not changed, the authority said.
The easy-to-use MiPermit is free and available from app stores.
