Alliance parking

Hello, I received a Notice from Alliance Parking for 10 mins staying on the Pottery  street Swansea without any marks, not on the parking bays. I was trying to find a relative business to appeal, but unsuccessful. 
Only one mark I found on the street, the photo attached above. It mentioned that road is Private, but no names and contacts. 
Could you help me please to find out someone to appeal.
Regards

    Generally there is no genuine appeals process because you just have an invoice, no different than you'd get from a plumber.

    Alliance Parking offer an internal "appeals" process, which will be described on their notice (Notice to Keeper in the post?). Chances of success - 0.01%

    After that you can go to the Independent Appeals Service. Chances of success - 4%.

    So the usual advice is to keep your evidence (of no signage/contract presumably) and look out for a Letter Before Action from a solicitor.

    Certainly don't be paying. But post up your notice, with personal details removed.

    I wanted to follow Plan A - to appeal for retailer or landlord - but couldn't find any info regarding this

    The termination of double yellows on public highway suggests no parking restrictions on the private land it turns into. 

    They should add their own lines, otherwise it screams "please park here".

    Just ignore Alliance unless you want to appeal to try out the 'kangaroo court' of the IAS. Which you'll lose and then you ignore!

    No paying this ex-wheelclamper any money.

    Tell them if you move house, obviously!

    Come back if you get a claim form.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    Guys, you all have a great sense of humour here. 
    Thanks for making things clear.

    There should also be a clear demarcation between public and private road by means of sign stating it is private land.

    The creased foamex cabled-tied signs suggest this site is an amateur operation.
