Motion · S2M-04058 · 2 Mar 2006
Abolition of Tolls on the Forth and Tay Road Bridges
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the announcement to begin planning for the much-needed replacement bridge at Queensferry; further welcomes the fact that the request by the Forth Estuary Transport Authority to increase tolls on the existing bridge has been rejected; believes that it is neither fair, equitable nor consistent to leave Fife as the only area in Scotland to be burdened with tolls; considers that this will have a detrimental effect on social justice and the Fife economy, and supports calls to the Scottish Executive to review its decision to maintain tolling on the Forth and Tay bridges.
