    Good to see in that sign the £100 charge being brought to a driver's attention in a nice bold way  :s anybody would think they were trying to keep it quiet. Doesn't look like you can be offered a 'contract to park' if you aren't "resident" anyway

    agreed , compare those atrocious "professional" signs to the one used in the Barry Beavis case

    I cannot see the Denning red hand rule being in operation at all , its a scamtrap

    Thanks I didn't realise the template was to get a code.
    Will get cracking.
    Thank you all very much. Fingers crossed they recognise the template and give the driver a swerve.

    Surely they will know that already from the fact that it has been read.  
    You never know how far you can go until you go too far.

    So no surprises... I'm appealing to POPLA - just received the standard rejection
    Thank you for your appeal received on xx/xx/2020 regarding the above detailed Parking Charge Notice. We have reviewed the case and considered the comments that you have made. This appeal has been considered in conjunction with the evidence gathered by the operative at the time of the event and any relevant mitigating circumstances you have supplied with your appeal. We are writing to inform you that your appeal has been unsuccessful. Your vehicle was not parked in accordance with the terms and conditions on site, and you have not provided sufficient evidence to show otherwise.
    At the time of contravention the vehicle was not authorised to park on site as they were not given pre-authorisation by One Parking Solution prior to parking on site. When parking on private land it is the motorists responsibility to ensure that they park in accordance with the terms and conditions displayed on site. There are numerous signs on site, parking is not for Co-op customers. You parked, made use of the facilities, entered the on site Co-op store before returning to your vehicle with purchase(s). You parked in front of two signs advising parking is not for Co-op customers - residents use only, which I have attached for your reference. There are numerous signs on site. 
    We find this parking charge to be issued correctly and we are therefore unable to cancel the Parking Charge Notice. We must advise you that once the discounted settlement rate (If Applicable) passes it will not be offered again. You have now reached the end of our internal appeals procedure. You may now either pay the amount due OR appeal further with POPLA. If you still believe that the Parking Charge Notice (PCN) was issued incorrectly, then there is an independent appeals service called POPLA (Parking on Private Land Appeals) and you can submit an appeal to them online using the following link POPLA and entering the ten digit verification code at the top of this page to authenticate your appeal. This code is valid for 28 days from the date your appeal is declined. Please note, that should you choose to use the POPLA service, you will no longer be entitled to pay the lower rate of the charge. By law we are also required to inform you that Ombudsman Services provides an alternative dispute resolution service that would be competent to deal with your appeal. However, we have not chosen to participate in their alternative dispute resolution service. As such, should you wish to appeal then you must do so to POPLA, as explained above.
    If you are not appealing to POPLA you are now required to make a payment of £60 to reach us by 

    I'll begin the search for the best POPLA appeal template... the battle goes on
