Metro Mayor hits back over Mersey Tunnel tolls increases

Liverpool City Region’s Metro Mayor has hit back at critics of proposed Mersey Tunnel tariff increases and how it is used.

Tomorrow, the city region’s combined authority is to set its annual budget for the next financial year. Among the proposals are a rise in tolls for some motorists using the Wallasey and Birkenhead tunnels.

While the cash toll for a single journey will be frozen at £2, the price of a discounted single journey for someone living in the city region with a T Flow account will rise by 20p to £1.40. The proposals will also include the T-Flow toll for non city region residents which will rise by 20p from £1.80 to £2.
