    "......as well as your images of the vehicle."

    They may have more images  -  hence the above in the template.

    "They have already captured the car image including the registration plate......."

    The point of the initial appeal is to get a PoPLA code (where the PPC is a BPA member). You then throw the kitchen sink at the PoPLA appeal.

    Have a look at Google Streetview (GSV) to see if there are any images that help your case.
    Just checked and they have few signs and noticed a camera on the entrance as well

    The Pay at Meter sign could easily have been hidden by one of the school buses, and the PDT machine itself would be invisible behind a tallish car or van. A driver wouldn't see the signs on the left wall as they entered, and by the time the Have you Paid and Displayed? sign was seen on the way it, it would have been too late.

    When you get to the PoPLA stage, use GSV images and manipulate the positions and angles to highlight how they are not prominent, and how they could have easily been missed to support your Inadequate Signage point.

    Good thought. It would be close to the border if they are. Gretna Green area perhaps.

    This is so true there was a panel van blocking the view of pay meter and most of their signs are really low not high enough to notice immediately when you arrive. I really hope that they will cancel this ticket without me having to pay 100.00 missing out discounted rate whilst appealing on this matter.

    Do you really want to pay the 'discounted' bribe rate?
