Angela Eagle – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Angela Eagle on 2016-09-09.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made on the review of the Mersey tunnel tolls.
Andrew Jones
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.
