Concerns have been raised over the parking App 'RingGo' putting motorists at risk of fines due to wrong location selection by its GPS.
A Lisburn rep has flagged a "bizarre" GPS issue with the council's contracted off street carparking App potentially putting motorists at risk of fines.
The chamber heard a "nightmare" issue has emerged due to an automatic location finder on the 'RingGo' App identifying car owners present at the wrong carpark. "It turns out as a council we seem to have different costs around every carpark we have in the town. Now, I find that a bit odd. I can understand why we would have different charges in the likes of Hillsborough and Glenavy or some other places outside of Lisburn itself, but I do find it bewildering that we do have significantly different charges with regards to carparks that in this case, were literally only a few hundreds yards apart.
Cllr Craig added: "I think there is a real issue and I would ask that the appropriate committee look at this, because we are creating a bit of a nightmare for the enforcement officers. It wasn't the fact I was unwilling to pay, I was actually paying, that's the thing I find amazing, as I kept looking at the App and saw that I was still paying, yet I had a fine.
