You are entitled, under the RTA I believe (or perhaps under the

appeal (I cannot remember which) is "frivilous, vexatious or wholly
unreasonable." Whether their behaviour is regarded in this category
is the decision of the parking adjudicator, who you will appear before
if the council refuse your appeal.

IANAL, only someone who has successfully appealed to the Parking
Appeals Service.

While that system applies in London it only applies in those parts of the
rest of the country that have introduced local authority parking
enforcement (AKA "decriminalised parking"). It doesn't apply to off-street
parking anywhere, does it?
