A shorter link to the Daily Mail article is

However, this article appears to be based on the following, which give a much fuller account of Bristol's failings re its ULEZ and the efforts of one mr.John Lyon to expose them.

“Then, when we go to the Traffic Penalty Tribunal to appeal again, the council waits until the penultimate day of the fortnight they have to respond, and on the penultimate day they make an offer which waives the fine but asks the driver to pay the initial £9 charge,” said Mr Lyon.
“They do this to make it so the stats show that they’ve technically ‘won’ that challenge, as they did get the CAZ charge paid. But if that offer is declined, the next day they will withdraw the entire penalty and the charge, with about ten hours to go. That means the Traffic Penalty Tribunal never gets to actually assess the points made in the challenges. The council is shying away from having that assessment done and a judgement made,” he added.
