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.

Motorcycle and moped parking

In some areas of the county, motorcycle parking bays can be found, providing designated space for parking.

Motorcycles are subject to the same rules as other vehicles - if you park where you should not, you will receive a parking fine. Motorcycles and mopeds must not park in bicycle stands.
