Dave, suggest you call up the local press and tell them the story
and
explain that you will pay the fine magically.
Then go to the office with a journalist present and produce bank notes
and coins etc from various impossible locations.
Bit of publicity for both your businesses.
But I would suggest you should pay in full, you will look good, the
council looks bad.
Now that *is* a good idea.

There was that video from a few months back of the lady magician who
was producing hankies from pretty much everywhere. It should be
reasonable easy for someone "in the business" to work out how it's done.

"Where did those notes come from ?"

"Some **** outside ..."
