OXFORDSHIRE County Council’s old pay-and-display machines will start to be scrapped and replaced by 85 new units accepting the new £1 coins.
The council is investing £350,000 in new machines and drivers will be able to pay with cash or card.
There are 120 old machines being replaced, with 85 new ones in Oxford, Abingdon, Wallingford and Henley.
All machines will accept card payments while some will accept card and cash.
A spokesman for the council said reducing the number of machines that hold cash will improve security while ensuring everyone is able to pay regardless of where they park.
