Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) scam text message

We are aware of a scam where people receive a text message stating they have a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) from the local council and a link to pay it.

This is a scam – we never send texts containing a link to pay for a PCN. You will only receive PCNs as a physical ticket on your vehicle, by post, or handed to you by a Civil Enforcement Officer.

Please ignore these texts and do not click the link to make a payment. You can report scams to the National Cyber Security Centre online or by forwarding the text to 7726.

Dedicated parking bays for Blue Badge holders

Find out how eligible Blue Badge holders can apply for a dedicated parking bay near their home or workplace.

Some blue badge holders can apply for a dedicated parking bay near their home or work place.

You can apply if:

  • you are a Blue Badge holder
  • there is no parking that is a reasonable distance to your home or workplace
  • you can't walk more than 20 metres - you may need to take a medical assessment to prove this
  • you get the higher rate component of the Disability Living Allowance for life.

If your application is successful, we need to send a consultation to everyone who lives nearby. When the consultation and legal documents are completed, we can install the bay.

Cost

We do not charge you for installing your dedicated disabled bay.
