It was in The Guardian too:

You normally have, I think, 28 days to make 'Representations' to the Council. If they stick by their guns then you can make a proper appeal to in independent Tribunal. In England and Wales outside of London (which has its own system) this would go to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal.
I cannot believe it would get that far.
There is a risk if it were ignored of it escalating via the fine doubling and ultimately going the the Traffic Enforcement Centre where it is treated as debt and Bailiffs get on with it.
Again, I think human intervention would put a stop to it.
