We’ve been made aware of scam text messages being sent to individuals, claiming they owe £20 for a parking fine. The message includes a link to a website that appears to be a gov.uk site and may look genuine. Please be aware we do not request payment for parking fines via text message. Do not click on the link or provide any personal or payment information.
