Require letters from local authorities about fines/debts be sent "signed for"

What the petition asks
Too many final demand letters for fines and debts, such as for traffic infringements, are reaching the recipient without any of the previous letters being received. In some cases a simple fine has escalated, unbeknownst to the motorist, to bailiffs.
Requiring that all correspondence from local authorities regarding fines and debts to be sent "signed for", would ensure that people become aware of these at the first instance, and are able to pay these or challenge these before the matter is escalated.
