Placate the savages so the 1bn to the DUP don't seem so bad.
I would be quite happy to keep paying it if the monies were given to wales and invested in roads and rail.
I've got use to paying it now.. it was 20p when I first crossed the old bridge and Aust services was the greatest services of all.
Who does the money go to?
There will be more Brizzle people coming here to live and commute back over the bridge to work,as house prices are cheaper here.They're already coming here to live now.
The toll should not be scrapped but reduced by 50%. The money raised should be ring-fenced to be used for M4 improvements, complete the dualling of the Heads of the Valley road to Hirwaun, and complete the dualling of the A40 from where it currently ends at St.Clears to Havefordwest. (Obviously not all at the same time as I guess the sums involved would require several years-worth of tolls!).
Great news if it is ultimately scrapped.
If they ever do the Newport m4 bypass though expect that to be a toll road and one of the Bryn glas tunnels to be closed for "safety reasons" to make that a permanent contra-flow and force everyone into the toll road
Basically no this government and the one before gave over loads of power and fiance ,no thanks ,and no i'm not a Tory just not blinkered , I noticed all that Labour can't manager Wales debate on this forum disappeared ,when a Thatcher looking like women appeared on the stage ,Cameron would have romped home in the last election.
Shudda kept the toll going untill enough cash raised to sort the relief road and a solution for the tunnels at Zooport, I welcome the toll scrap but as one problem closes, further problems arise and with the record of the labour government in South Wales it'll be a further 30 years before the problems of 2018 may get tackled.
I was just pointing out that the Severn Bridge is in act all in England, and that it is the Wye Bridge that connects England and Wales.
given that 3/4 of the crossing is entirely in England, I struggle to see the argument for why the funds should be spent wholly in Wales
How will the bridges be maintained without toll funds? Takes a lot of paint to keep them tip top..... Never ending job
