PROTEST PLANNED OVER TUNNEL TOLL RISE
A demonstration is to be held outside Birkenhead tunnel when the toll rise is increased at the beginning of next month. The decision was taken after a meeting of the Mersey Tunnel Users Association last night. Representatives from Merseytravel, the regions transport authority, did not attend the meeting and have so far made no comment.
The Protest will take place on Sunday 6th April, the day the tolls are due to increase. The rise means that the price of driving your car through the Mersey Tunnels will increase by 10p to £1.40. Other classes of vehicles such as lorries will face even steeper rises.
The news of increased tunnel tolls has angered many students, particular those living at home on the Wirral who commute to university on a daily basis. Merseytravel will also be pressed to introduce a discount scheme for tunnel users from Liverpool and the Wirral which they have so far been reluctant to introduce.
