Prima facie has an interesting meaning.

Have you called the Chester Police? I'm guessing a call, and sending any
documentation you might have, might be enough to make this go away.
Believe it or not, I have found putting a counter in front of a bureaucrat
makes them stupid, but they tend to retain their sense of justice. If a
call isn't enough, someone on the other end of the line, should be able to
give you the 35 steps needed to make it go away.
