       > (6)A notice sent by post is to be presumed, unless the
       contrary is proved, to have been delivered (and so “given” for
       the purposes of sub-paragraph (4)) on the second working day
       after the day on which it is posted; and for this purpose
       “working day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a
       public holiday in England and Wales.

       The parking operator will state that the notice is posted on the
       day that it was issued.
       There is no “legal” requirement to do more. There is a code of
       practice, but that doesn’t have the force of law.

       > Therefore, parking operators must retain a record of the date
       of posting of a notice, not simply of that notice having been
       generated (e.g. the date that any third-party Mail Consolidator
       actually put it in the postal system.)

       An appeal to POPLA can be on the basis of non-compliance with
       this code, but as you’ve already seen they’re often useless.
