Answer
Midland Expressway Limited (MEL), is the private consortium responsible for building and operating the M6 toll road. Specific legislation or amendment via regulation to existing PCN legislation is required to enable MELs potential plans to remove pay barriers and introduce barrier free technology in future. As M6 Toll is a privately owned asset, MEL would need to offer proposals that highlight the merits of removing toll barriers and how they will meet all the challenges of doing so for the Department to consider.
