'On February 23 Dunfermline West Labour MSP Scott Barrie told The Courier, "It is disappointing, if it is true, that tolling will remain only on the Forth and the Tay bridges. We have seen half the tolled bridges freed. Why is it only Fife that has to pay?" Yesterday he voted to keep the tolls on the Tay.' The Courier 31 st March 2006.
