£5 million up. £1 million down.


"THEY were built at a cost of £5 million and caused months of traffic disruption to motorists. Now, little more than a year later, a further £1 million will be spent tearing the Forth Road Bridge's hi-tech toll booths down again. Yesterday, it was revealed the project will also bring drivers at least another four months of misery as roadworks and speed limits usher in the abolition of tolls next year."

£6 million of your cash and mine, spent by a bunch of politicians and bridge bureaucrats who couldn't see beyond the end of their noses far enough to recognise that it was a case of when tolls would be abolished on the bridge, not if.

What a waste of public money.
