Mr Ashford said the estate’s entrance is via Damson Drive and the code requires that UKPC must place a prominent ‘Private Land’ notice at the entrance to St Mary’s Park.
“There is no such mandatory notice and Damson Drive is actually signed with Hart District Council street nameplates, which clearly indicates it is a public highway where private company enforcement isn’t possible,” said Mr Ashford.
“The UKPC signs around the estate don’t comply with the code. They are full of irrelevant verbiage, the text is only 6mm high on signs set far back from the roadway against the walls of houses level with upstairs windows.
“They are unlikely to be noticed in daytime and are near invisible at night, when Mrs Anderson parked her car.”
Is Peter Ashford known to us on MSE?

And once again:UKPC was unavailable for comment as the News & Mail went to press
I wonder why none of them is ever available for comment when the Press gets involved?Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .
I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

I do not understand why a PPC should be here. It is a long way from the main road and the only people who would park here would be visiting the houses. HW has no station.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

The PPC is there as its an opportunity for them to make money.
PPC s do not care who parks where, just as long as they get their parking charge notices out, to intimidate people into paying up. Thats all that matters.From the Plain Language Commission:
