Motorists handed fines by illegal immigrant traffic wardens working in Oxfordshire will not be eligible for refunds, it has been revealed.

Eight had been working for Control Plus - the company employed by Oxfordshire County Council to enforce on-street parking - for between six months and two years before they were caught last year.

They had entered the country using "high quality forged documents".

ButCounty Hall has said there could be no challenge to fines issued before May last year, when the wardens were dismissed, because appeals were made "against the process, not those who issue tickets".
