Parking and bus lane enforcement
The council have been made aware of a text message scam asking people to click a link to pay a parking ticket. We never contact customers by text message - all of our notifications are sent by post for all parking, moving traffic and bus lane notices.
Please do not click the link as this is not from a valid source.
The council are also aware of a QR code scam which uses a fake QR code on our Pay and Display Machines or Pay by Phone signs.The council does not use QR codes for people to pay for parking. Please either use a pay machine, the PaybyPhone app or call the number we have advertised. Please do not scan these QR codes as they are not from a valid source.
If you have been a victim of any scam, please ensure you report to Action Fraud and take steps to contact your bank.
