Road Tolls.
HiI am doing the airport run tomorrow, to Liverpool.
I use the Mersey Bridge in Runcorn, which is currently free.
They are building a new bridge which opens this month, with a £2 each way Toll.
As soon as that opens they are closing the old bridge for a year for repairs.
When that reopens they are putting tolls on it when now it is free.
This seriously annoys me.
Unless you register, which costs money, you will have to ring up to pay, which is just more hassle.

My only beef with this toll is that it is contracted to yet another foriegn company.A multi million pound contract awarded to a French company Sanef to keep Dartford free flowing. Just how many of the tolls around the UK are farmed out to other countries instead of allowing British firms to run them.
Just what is wrong with our Governments no matter who is in power they always look overseas to give contracts out.
Look at the National Lottery the bleeding Canadians are now running that to build up their teachers pensions. What about our bloody teachers pensions. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Gets off his soapbox and walks away.

Re: Road Tolls.
The bridge over the Tamar at Plymouth into Cornwall has always been a toll. At first it was to pay for the bridge, but now I think it's to subsidise the ferry crossing from Plymouth to Torpoint. You only pay one way, coming back into Plymouth. It's gone up to £1.50 per car, vans, lorries etc pay more.
