 Be aware of parking scam texts
We're aware of a parking scam text circulating so please be cautious before following any links and submitting any information if you aren't certain who it's from.
This photo is an example of a scam text which was recently received by a local resident. Thankfully, they checked it out and blocked the number before sending us a screenshot to warn others.
We would not contact you by text for a parking penalty charge notice so if you get a text like this, please ignore it.
You can also report a scam text by forwarding it to 7726.
