After 3 appeals being rejected/ignored, how do I alert the media about the incompetence and lies by my local authorities parking enforcement?
I have boxed off any enforcement further action and even the instructed bailiff has lost all interest, but I have had enough of the bullying and intransigence of a local authority whose own photographic and e-mail evidence contradicts their justification for continued enforcement.
I now wish to embarrass them. I am sick of no one listening to argument and now hiding behind out of time rules despite taking 5 months to respond in writing to my appeal.
Enough of this sh*t. How do I do a press release?

Re: Enough of this sh*t. How do I do a press release?
I'm not sure if the media would pick up a parking story.
I last did a media press release back in 2017 featuring bailiff companies clamping and towing cars at night for unpaid traffic debts, and the BBC picked up the story and sent its TV crews following guilty bailiffs in their number plate recognition vans and street lifter trucks taking cars to a scrapyard premises in north London.
After the broadcast, BBC News was met by an aggressive reaction from a solicitor representing a guilty bailiff company who made personal attacks on me rather than defending their client featured in the broadcast.
The success rate for traffic appeals is low but I tend not to bother with N244 due to the exorbitant cost.
It's cheaper to disregard the liability and let the enforcement company take it on the chin.
Do the PE/TE forms by all means, but I don't think this is media material.
If you want to approach the media with your bailiff story, then I wrote this article, with help from a professional TV reporter, which might help in preparing a media approach.

Channel 4 News likes bailiff stories but they prefer to feature individual rogue bailiffs than expose official corruption.
The Observer is very good if your case needs investigative work. They have the manpower to delve deep into the abyss so long as the material they stand to find has a high news value. If your case involves a corrupt individual, the Observer is best.
The media cases I made included bailiffs wearing police-like attire, and the result was to discontinue the practice.
DCBL attended debtors without giving a Notice, so a sting operation was deployed and now they do finally give a notice of enforcement.
An individual bailiff was investigated and caught on hidden camera stealing jewellery and cash from the bedrooms of a former director for a debtor company - with two metropolitan police officers present, then visited a pawn shop with the stolen loot. The same bailiff, while under private surveillance, then robbed a nail salon of goods and a quantity of cash, and then hit a restaurant, both on CCTV under the disguise of enforcing a previous occupants' debt. I expect the material will eventually find its way to the media.
