Then received a…

Good evening, We have just received another PCN, the sixth one within a month...We should be buying lottery!

EV parking bay not clearly marked
Unsurprisingly, my appeal to UKPC was rejected and I'm in the process of doing the POPLA appeal. Do you think it worth appealing to POPLA or just ignore the appeal and wait for the possible court action? My main argument is that the driver parked in a bay (in a shopping complex) that was not marked as an EV charging bay.…
