  • It is astonishing how badly the council have managed to screw up the comms on this. That BBC article is specifically meant as a countering-disinformation thing, and yet clearly they briefed the BBC that it was £70, no mention of the £35.

  • Tbf the council have probably (I am guessing here) done an OK job communicating it to residents but didn't realise every nut job, maga hat wearer and little englander was going to view it as a battle ground against the lizard overlords, imagine there are some underpaid and overworked comms staff at the council having a nightmare and more used to communicating when some road resurfacing is happening or the day for recycling has changed

  • If it's anything like parking tickets which I think it is, the fine will be £70 and if you pay it within 2 weeks, you can pay a reduced fee of £35.
    Rather than it being a £35 fine which increases. There's no real difference but that's probably where it's come from
