Scam text and WhatsApp messages

We're aware of scam messages being sent to some residents, asking for parking fines to be paid and giving deadlines to pay by. We do not request payment by text message or WhatsApp. You can report scam messages to the National Cyber Security Centre.

Apply for new parking controls

Parking controls are restrictions that we can use to make long-term changes to parking.

Parking controls are different to parking suspensions and dispensations, which are for temporary, short-term changes to parking.

Apply for parking controls

You can apply for parking controls if you are having problems with on-street parking such as:

  • risks to health and safety
  • blocking or restricting access
  • traffic congestion

You can also find out how to apply for a disabled parking space.
