They say they do, but I don't want to get caught out and lose the reduced payment rate.
If you don't want to lose the discount option, then basically, its's game over, because councils reject virtually ALL reps they receive, because they know that >95% of people then just cough-up.

PCN is pants. They MUST consider representations 28 days from the date of service.

This is a width restriction with a wider central section. There was another vehicle parked before the width restriction which gave the driver a reduced manoeuvring distance before the restriction. The car is 5.3m long, and just fits through the restriction. They elected not to mount the kerb or needing to reverse on the road (because of the traffic) in order to get through the gap, but to go through the central section. In the evidence video, the cars before and after both need to make sharp turns after the parked car.
I suspect that we'll need to make payment (reduced until 22 June), but I wondered if the driver might usefully make representation, perhaps on the basis of the limited manoeuvring space available?
