Apply for a parking permit in the Daventry area

Fraudulent PCN text messages

We are aware of scam text messages being sent to West Northamptonshire residents. They are fraudulently claiming that residents have been issued a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and must follow a link to pay a fine.

Be aware that we never issue PCNs via text.

If anyone has received a genuinely issued PCN from us, it will have been:

on their vehicle when they have returned to it (parking PCN)
via the post with photographic evidence (bus lane offence and/or moving traffic offence)

Please ignore any text messages you receive regarding the issuing of a PCN.
