MPs and Tamar Bridge bosses hope for locals' toll

The article discusses the ongoing debate over tolls at the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry, which connect Cornwall and Plymouth. Local MPs and bridge authorities are advocating for a discounted toll for residents, arguing that the current tolls disproportionately affect local commuters. The Tamar Crossings CEO, David List, has expressed hope for a resolution that would benefit local users while maintaining the financial stability of the crossings. The government has provided a £10 million grant to help manage the crossings' debt, but there is a call for a more sustainable solution. MPs Johnny Mercer and Sheryll Murray are pushing for a fairer toll system, highlighting the economic pressures on residents and the need for infrastructure investment. The discussion also touches on the potential for government intervention to reduce tolls or find alternative funding methods to ease the financial burden on locals.
