Water Park customers caught out by parking scam

West Country Water Park has issued an apology to any customers who were incorrectly sent Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) and debt collection letters as part of a scam.

An independent company called Smart Parking manages the parking at West Country Water Park in Bradley Stoke and some customers were incorrectly sent PCNs and letters as if from the company. 

A spokesperson for West Country Water Park has reassured customers that these PCNs will be cancelled and the fines will not be pursued.

A spokesperson said: “We deeply regret the impact this has had … and I want to thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through this. Your satisfaction is our priority; we are doing everything we can to ensure this issue is resolved promptly and fairly.”

Peter Coakley, operations director of Smart Parking, said: “All PCNs that are sitting DRP have been cancelled. 

“Please be aware that there may be a small amount of correspondence that is in the system. This means you can rest easy.”
