Fraudulent PCN payment text messages and QR code scam

We are aware that people are getting fake text messages asking for penalty charge payments with a link. We will never ask for payments via text. Penalty charge notices are either placed on your vehicle or sent by post. If you get such a text, block the sender and report it to Action Fraud.

Also, fake QR codes have been found in some of our car parks. We don’t use QR codes for parking payments. You should only use our pay and display machines or the RingGo app. If you see any QR codes in our car parks, please call us at 01803 207695.

Campervans and motor homes are welcome in our car parks where we do not have height barriers installed, as listed below. All vehicles must be parked so that they do not overhang any part of the parking bays, as parking in this manner can cause hazards for passing pedestrians, or obstruct the flow of traffic within the car park.

Campervans and motor homes which are parked on the highway are required to adhere to on-street parking restrictions and must ensure that they park their vehicle in a location suitable to the size of their vehicle. When using designated on-street parking bays, the vehicle must fit entirely within the bay markings, and must not overhang any part of the bay which also includes walls and promenades and any other land. Vehicles are not permitted to use multiple parking spaces even if more than one pay and display ticket or parking session is paid for.

On-street Parking

Pay and Display Tickets in Car Parks

If your vehicle takes up more than one parking bay, you must purchase a pay and display ticket for each of the bays occupied, and your vehicle must not overhang the bay markings so as to cause an obstruction to pedestrians or traffic flow within the car park. If your vehicle overhangs any part of the bay markings, or if you fail to display the correct number of tickets when using more than one marked bay, this will result in the issue of a Penalty Charge Notice.

Overnight Use

Overnight sleeping in vehicles or camping is not permitted, nor is the heating, cooking or preparing of food. There are many suitable camping and caravanning sites across the bay with full amenities.
