Labour say onus will be on motorists to claim
The report on if and how the York Council will refund the fines that it raised unlawfully against motorist using Lendal Bridge has been published. Click here to read it.
The Council has also issued a media release saying
Following approval at Cabinet, an announcement as to the opening of the application process will be made shortly through the council website and the council’s normal communication channels.
In order to protect the council against the risk from fraudulent claims a simple application process is currently in development and it is anticipated that this will be launched in the coming weeks.
Whilst the council appreciates that those affected by this process will wish to make their application at the earliest possible date, payments will only be made when requests are made through the official application process and contacting the council prior to the opening of the process will not be necessary or assist in any claims.
