Handbrake adjustment

Hi hope your all well. 

Got a handbrake question today I have the 2.7 tiptronic boxster and have mot coming up. Since owning the car the handbrake has a lot of travel, and I find when I take it off to use the car I can hear the handbrake scuffing, if I pull the handbrake half way up and release then the handbrake stops scuffing. What would be best to stop this and bring adjustment back in on the handbrake please

There are 2 adjustments, one to the cable under the centre console under the storage box.

Otherwise there is a crown wheel adjuster in each wheel hub that is accessible through a wheel bolt hole at just off top dead centre of the hub.  Flick up or down with a small screw driver blade to tighten or losen the shoes in the drum.
