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.

Parking for motorcycles is free in car parks run by Torbay Council, provided your motorcycle is parked wholly within a designated motorcycle only parking area, and not within a standard pay and display bay. If a motorcycle is parked within a standard parking bay, then either a pay and display ticket must be purchased and displayed, or a valid RingGo parking session in operation for the duration of the vehicle's stay.

Time limits apply for motorcycles in short stay car parks, as with any other user.

On street parking

Where dedicated motorcycle parking bays are provided on street which are marked on the road and signed with the motorcycle symbol, parking is free for all motorcycles.

Otherwise motorcycles parked outside of these areas must follow the same terms and conditions as other motor vehicles and park in a marked pay and display bay and the rider must purchase a ticket for the duration of the stay. Tickets should be affixed to the motorcycle using a secure ticket holder available from any good motorcycle accessory store, or alternatively the rider should take the ticket with them and will be required to produce the ticket if a Penalty Charge Notice is issued to the motorcycle.
