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.
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
