Three parking fines at Tesco Hove by Horizon

I have recently received THREE PCNs from Horizon. I am the keeper, not the driver. I have successfully appealed on the PCN issued on 13th Oct 2025 for a parking event on 23rd Sep 2025 (the first parking ticket, received by post around 20th Oct), quoting their PCN was not compliant with POFA and also attached a shopping receipt found in the car. Their reply was below;

"I can confirm, as a gesture of goodwill, the Parking Charge has now been cancelled and no further action will be taken in this matter. 

Please note that further Parking Charges may not be cancelled."

My concerns are that I have two other PCNs. One was received on 20th Oct 2025 for a parking event on 7th Oct 2025. I have made an appeal by supplying the shopping receipt, but no reply so far, despite this was sent out before I made the appeal for the first ticket issued on 13th Oct. May I ask if I could appeal again on this one, adding their notice was received after 14 days? 

The last PCN was issued on 22nd Oct 2025 for a parking event on 14th Oct 2025. A shopping receipt for 14th Oct was also found in the car. I would not have received so many PCNs, if they issued the first one earlier. I am drafing for the last parking ticket appeal. I went to Tesco Hove, but was fobbed off by their staff. I did not even have a chance to see the manager. There was no sign or reminding messages at the exit or entrance of the store either. I did not find one. Can I get some advice, if possible please? I don't even know what would be counted as sufficient signs or insufficient signs. Any links or advice on this? I am thinking to use "lack of signs" as an appealing ground, but I don't know if I need to provide any picture proof. In addtion, I wanted to supply the shopping receipt, but the reply from Horizon seems to imply that no future appeal would be acceptable. 

Any help or advice will be highly appreciated!
