Help with POPLA appeal

Hi All
In short ParkingEye rejected my first appeal due to insufficient evidence and have sent me a POPLA code. The appeal I'm writing is on the basis that there is insufficient signage in the pub car park the contravention is alleged to have taken place.
How should I go about evidencing this with photos? Do I take as many as possible or just the route the driver took in and through the carpark? Should I photograph the signs or will this build the case against me? etc etc? I think I have a good case because, genuinely, the driver tell me they didn't see the signs and going there myself they are very obscure.

Don't just use a single point appeal to POPLA
Read up on POPLA appeals in the Newbies faq thread near the top of the forum
#3 there covers advice on popla appeals with links to near templates to use0 -
I am not using only one point but I feel the 'insufficient signage' angle is the strongest. I have read the section to which you refer and I seeking some additional advice re photographic evidence partiualr to my case.0

IMHO, ParkingEye cases are almost never won on signage, unless it was dark/unlit.
Was the PCN a POFA version, served by day 15 and with the POFA/keeper liability para on the back?PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

The PCN does mention the POFA2012 and the very last paragraph does mention something about "the registered keeper" and it was issued after 6 days...
Is it worth getting on to the pub where the driver was a customer?0 -
Always!!
First recommendation in the newbies FAQ thread near the top of the forum
