East Belfast MLA Mr Lyttle said the incorrect fines would have brought anxiety to those wrongly penalised.
“These cameras are an important method of promoting sustainable travel and easing congestion on some of the busiest routes in and out of the greater Belfast area, so to find out they were recording the wrong data for a month is disappointing to say the least. Many of those motorists fined will have already paid the penalties issued to them, therefore it is essential they are refunded as quickly as possible.
“The Minister needs to step in and ensure this matter resolved as a matter of urgency, the equipment is checked to be up to standard and the mistakes that led to this situation are not repeated.”
