PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Mersey Tunnels: Tolls (9 September 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made on the review of the Mersey tunnel tolls.

Asked by:
Dame Angela Eagle (Labour)

Answer

The Review of the Mersey Tunnel Tolls is being undertaken by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority. I welcome the decision taken at its February meeting to reduce the cost of tolls to Fast Tag users. This was implemented from the 1st April this year, bringing significant benefits to local people. The Combined Authority is continuing its Review of tolls, to ensure that a sustainable long term position can be reached. I understand that an update report is due to be presented to the Authority this Autumn.
