Residents warned over parking scam text messages

1 July 2025

We have been made aware of scam messages being sent to residents asking for PCN payments.

Residents are being warned to be on their guard against a scam text message relating to the payment of an outstanding parking Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

We will never send a text message asking you to pay a PCN.

If you receive a text message do not make any payment or provide your bank details and delete the text message. 

If you believe you have been a victim of this scam, report the matter online to Action Fraud or call 0300 123 2040.
