Check out the highway code"dual carriageway is a road which has a central reservation to separate the carriageways."

I'm not trying to dismiss what you are saying or call you a liar, I just read what it says in the highway code.
If the council decided to refund tickets that's their choice but it has no effect to the highway code.
The council has no say on the highway code.
I'm sure if you get a speeding fine and go to court stating that your local council refunded a fine the judge would not change the highway code and deem you correct.

Lower speed limits on duel carriageways are dictated by street lights and sineage as I’ve said before U.K. traffic laws are to complicated
