       Here's the draft for informal reps:
       "PCN Reference: [insert reference number]
       Vehicle Registration: [insert]
       Date of Contravention: [insert]
       Dear Sir/Madam,
       I am writing to make informal representations against the above
       Penalty Charge Notice.
       I parked in this bay and I did not see anything in the vicinity
       of the parking bay itself indicating that a no waiting
       restriction applied during the evening/overnight period. I
       assumed it would not cause any violation as it was after 8pm. If
       I had noticed anything that suggested that, I would have moved
       the vehicle elsewhere. I am so sorry to have missed whatever
       signs were there and will not be parking there after 8pm again.
       I would be grateful if the Council could review this and allow
       the ticket to be waived on the back of this being an unexpected
       error.
       Yours faithfully,
       [Name]"
       Thoughts?

       Thanks.
       The PCN looks to be compliant.
       Your reps are general enough not to create any suspicion and if
       sent soon would be within the 14-day period.
       I'd go with them.

       Just a basic update... I sent the appeal in yesterday.
