I appealed to the Council parking manager and it was declined. I
contacted our local councilor, he looked into it and I got an email
from the Council saying that 'in this case' they would drop the PCN.

So, should I vote for that councilor for that reason?

It demonstrates that they are prepared (and able) to act in the
interests of their constituents, and suggests they might be an effective
councillor.

This is the issue then. The canvasser for this single ward party
suggested I vote for him, even if to just to keep *someone* in
opposition to the incumbent. But if my only dealing with the incumbent
was a positive one, why would I risk that?

So unless you find their politics abhorrent for some other
reason, you could.

To do that I'd have to find out what their politics were and compare
it with all the others presumably?

Its a bit like if I order something from a new supplier, and something
goes wrong. How they deal with it and fix it is far more important than
the fact that something went wrong.

And often used as a trick to make people happy.

If a sale goes well the customer says nothing (it's what's expected
after all).

If a sale goes wrong and is fixed to your satisfaction you tell people
how good they are. ;-)

We (in Field support) were envied by the Sales Dept because *we* we
generally invited into customers with opened arms whereas they had to
fight, struggle and grovel to get in. ;-)
