Permitgate: The Response

I'm sure you've been on tenterhooks ever since. Here are some edited highlights:

Dear Sir / Madam

Your letter of challenge has been carefully considered and in particular the issues you raised concerning parking on Harrington Drive. However The Penalty Charge Notice was correctly issued and there is no valid reason why it should be cancelled on this occasion as your vehicle was parked in a residents parking space without clearly displaying a valid residents parking permit.
...
The attendant noted that there was a sign situated within 5 metres from where your vehicle was parked denoting the restriction and displays the wording 'permit holders only'. Your vehicle was then observed for a mandatory period by the Attendant in order to allow the driver opportunity to obtain a permit from a nearby property. However, no activity was seen at the vehicle during this time. Therefore the Penalty Charge Notice was correctly issued in accordance with the Road Traffic Act 1991 and remains payable.
...
Please note that it is our policy to respond to only one letter of appeal against any individual Penalty Charge Notice.

I'd much prefer it if, when demanding my money, these people displayed a better grasp of punctuation. It's residents'. A true bunch of cunts.
