Fake QR codes on parking machines

Stickers featuring fake QR codes have been found on some council pay and display parking machines in Lutterworth today (Wednesday, 6 November 2024).

Our officers are in the process of removing them and will check other pay and display locations.

Please do not scan a QR code on a Harborough District Council pay and display machine. We do not use QR codes at any of our car parks, so people using a council parking space should never expect to pay by this method.

The safest way to pay is through the PayByPhone app which is on offer at all council car parks and pay and display locations.

The PayByPhone app can be downloaded from the Google Play and Apple App Store.

Lutterworth car park closures

Essential works are taking place to install LED lighting for two council owned car parks in Lutterworth.

Works to Station Road car park in Lutterworth begin on Tuesday, 5 November 2024. This will involve a partial closure of the car park and works are estimated to last for 2 weeks.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
