I wondered if someone could give an idea if the template 1st appeal in the newbie sticky sent to Smart Parking that ennndi was advised to send is enough to get the pcn dropped

Yes.

or if there will be a further appeal to be made to POPLA?

Unlikely, because Smart normally take a month to think about it, then cancel.

if this is likely to require more research/appealing I will probably just pay the fine.

It's not a fine and that would be MADNESS. You will be spending the £100 on your lovely new baby, believe us!

Anyway why not simply complain to the gym/place where you were patron, get them to cancel it? Easy to get rid of Smart Parking, as long as you do not say who was driving. Look:

the shop got in touch with the parking company and the notice was (reluctantly) cancelled. I was prepared to settle in for a long dispute but all sorted :-)

Thank you so much that is very helpful

I cant complain to the patron of the car park (a hotel) as the driver was using the supermarket right next to the car park (not realising it was a separate part of the car park reserved for hotel customers)

So hoping that by not disclosing who was driving and sending the newbie sticky post to smart parking that it will do the trick. As these links confirm that the chances are good so thank you for that. I will keep you all updated even in a newborn fog!

Yes please, and update us about the newborn!

If you do get a POPLA code we can help, the appeal will be easy and could be copied from another Smart one. They are 100% beatable by a registered keeper appellant who doesn't name the driver.
