Tyne Tunnel campaigner hits back at ‘one off’ fine extensions, demanding more from executives

A campaigner has voiced his concerns at the Tyne Tunnel's bid to extend payment deadlines to a select number of motorists who would have otherwise been handed hefty fines.

And his latest reaction comes after executives at the tunnels announced a 'one off gesture of goodwill', allowing road users extra time to pay their missed-tolls before being handed an Unpaid Toll Notice Charge (UTCN).
