We are aware that there is currently a scam text message being circulated informing people that they have an outstanding Penalty Charge Notice (PCN). Please be aware that we will never send a text message asking you to pay a PCN. If you do receive a parking fine, a sticker with relevant contact details will be placed on your car and/or you will receive a letter.
