The new tariffs apply to all the council's parks except Brampton Valley Way. They are: Barnwell Country Park, Brixworth Country Park, Fermyn Woods Country Park, Irchester Country Park and Sywell Country Park.

A council spokesman said: "The money raised through charging for parking will be ploughed directly back into the service to help pay for the ongoing maintenance of the parks."
