    Things to think about:

    A Speeding fine is £100.  A Local Authority lower rate parking penalty is £50.  Which do you think a private PCN should be like?

    Do you think they should be allowed to double the costs of the letters by adding a fake debt recovery sum?

    Do you think the section about loading/unloading or boarding alighting (e.g. delivery drivers, taxis, or anyone dropping people off) is right and should such short activity be exempt, as we think it should?

    Does the section about 'consideration periods' at the start give people long enough?  Why is it that the time starts from when you drive past a remote camera hidden a quarter of a mile away on an approach road...which means five or even ten (or more, in busy times) minutes has gone by before a person is even standing at a pay machine...? 

    How can they be allowed to charge for 'total stay' yet not tell you what that time is or when is starts, until you get a PC (too late)?

    How can they get away with broken PDT machines and badly-signalled apps, that take longer to pay than 10 mins?

    How can they get away with telling people in their own homes who DO NOT need to display a permit (under their leases), that they suddenly do need to display a permit, just by putting up some cardboard signs attached with parcel twine?

    etc. etc.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
