    What a story those figures tell! Just over 21% are 'cancelled', more than one in five. I wonder what the reasons were for cancelling. How many of the 'gullibles' PNs would have been cancelled if they had realised that they could use those reasons to put up a fight? No need to do Court with returns like that as it would just be a case of diminishing returns. More profitable to threaten bye-laws and prosecution. When does something of that magnitude become fraudulent. 

    How is it that parking management, that could and should be beneficial, has been turned through 180° and become just a money gouging exercise?

    How many of these will be issued to lease/hire/company cars/vehicles where the company will just pay out and charge the person  on the hire/lease agreement?

    They're going to have to give up the fake PN lark soon. They will only be able to issue PCNs. Not that that will diminish their returns though. The vast majority of the Gullibles will still pay up out of ignorance and fear.
