Parking tickets (PCN)
We are aware of a scam where people are receiving text messages stating they have a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) with a link to pay.
Gateshead Council will never text you about a PCN. You will only receive a PCN as a physical ticket on your vehicle or a letter to the registered keeper address associated with the vehicle.
Please ignore these texts and do not click the link to make a payment.
