One small point. If it's a local authority ticket, were you parked on the highway?
I've had tickets from my local authority before where I was parked on some grass in front of my house. A bailiff was chasing me for £850 for it when I realised that the Council only have legal powers to issue a ticket on the highway.
I had to write to them twice to get them to concede that they were wrong. It gave me great pleasure to tear up the bailiffs threatening letters.
Bear in mind though that some grass verges are part of the highway.
