       Should I post previous successful appeals? And if so where to?

       Hi, I'm wondering if I should be posting previous successful
       appeals for the records?
       For example I had three Bexley Council PCN's for three different
       HGV's on different days, parking on Hailey Rd (an industrial
       estate road) overnight. They were for supposedly parked in
       contravention of: A commercial vehicle parked in a restricted
       street in contravention of the Overnight Waiting Ban. But there
       are no sign posts on or around Hailey Rd for this prohibition.
       Instead, they have relied on No Waiting for commercial vehicle
       (coaches and HGV's over 5 tonne) zone signs that apply
       midnight-8am, 8pm -midnight and are located, according to the
       council, on all roads into Bexley. The sign posts they claim are
       on the perimeter of the borough, and no repeaters are necessary
       to enforce this in the entire 64km² area of Bexley according to
       them.
       First PCN was dealt with by a colleague, but then I got this job
       to do and dealt with the other 2. First one was paid. The 2 I
       dealt with were accepted after I made complaints to the council
       and made an information requests to find out about this supposed
       prohibition that I, nor any driver had any idea about. They told
       me the Traffic Order has been in place since the 70's, yet it is
       still not adequately sign posted, nor is there any mention of it
       on their parking page on the council site. They sent me a
       picture of 1 of the sign posts. But anyway, the council
       cancelled them as a "gesture of goodwill".
       I later obtained dashcam footage showing the route taken into
       Bexley, which showed there isn't even the borough perimeter
       signs that they insist our driver must have passed and that they
       rely on to enforce this.
       I complained to the council again. They still insisted the
       driver must have passed a sign despite video evidence to the
       contrary. But they refunded the £110 paid for the first PCN,
       again, as a "gesture of goodwill".
       That's 3 "gestures of goodwill" they did for me, how kind
       🙄
