A Bradgate Park spokesperson told LeicestershireLive, “Our new ANPR system is not yet operational as we are doing some more work before it goes live to make sure it runs as smoothly as possible.”
“Technical problems” were to blame for the shutdown of the new parking system on Wednesday May 26th last month.

It says: “We will have no choice but to switch back to Pay & Display until the technical problems with ANPR have been resolved.
“Please pay at one of our pay machines in the parking lot on arrival and then display your ticket correctly on your window screen. Bradgate Park apologizes for the inconvenience.
“Please be patient, because this facility is also new to us, together we can overcome all teething troubles. If you have problems in this car park, we will have employees over the weekend to help you.”
An expected completion date has not been confirmed, but the Trust says it is continuing to work to reintroduce the new system soon.
