A fine is not an FPN.
The maximum penalty that a court can impose for a charge involving cycling on the pavement, should the defendant be found guilty, is £500.
A Fixed Penalty Notice is a summary charge (not a fine or a conviction) that can be offered by the police in lieu of a summons. This is limited to £50 for pavement riding.
Putney County Council has no authority to impose fines for pavement riding - it is a police / magistrates court matter.
