Sub: An appeal letter for parking ticket*

Ref: Penalty Charge Notice No ********* issued on 23/02/2012
Vehicle Registration No.: ***********

Dear Sir,
I was surprised to find a Penalty Charge Notice pasted on my car even after I had paid for a display ticket. I was not aware of the fact that I had parked my vehicle in a permit holder bay where pay and display tickets were not valid.
I did not see the permit sign as there was only one, and the view of it was very restrictive, with very little distance from it and the normal parking zones, and also there was a van parked in front of the sign restricting my view.
As soon as I got the ticket that was outside the town hall where I was attending training for my job as a support worker for disabled adults, I went to appeal in the council offices next to the town hall, I was told that I would hear back from them in two weeks but never did in till I got a letter on the 12/4/12. I was told during my appeal that the price of the ticket would be suspended at 35 pounds in till I heard back from you, but instead got a letter with the upped charge of 70 pounds.
I will include pictures I've taken to support my appeal with the ticket I bought on the day, thought the lady at the desk when I made an appeal made a photo copy of it.
I would appreciate your gesture of good will if you could accept my appeal and kindly waive the charge.
Thank you.*
Sincerely yours,*
Richard"
