Drivers warned deadline looming for bridge tolls refund

MOTORISTS have a month left to claim refunds on pre-paid toll vouchers for the Forth Road Bridge – worth £172,000.

The refunds were offered after tolls were scrapped on the bridge in February, and bridge bosses FETA said there were around £400,000 worth of vouchers that could be returned. They have now refunded £228,000, but have urged anyone with vouchers to come forward as soon as possible. The deadline for claiming a refund is May 9.

A FETA spokesman said: "We do not expect to refund the full amount as it is likely a number of vouchers will have been lost or thrown away, but there will still be a considerable number out there."
