Increases to Mersey Tunnel fares and transport levies are “necessary measures” to avoid cuts to services in the Liverpool City Region, according to the Metro Mayor.
Steve Rotheram defended the proposed move as he presented a budget report to members of the Combined Authority.
As previously reported in the ECHO, Liverpool City Region's Combined Authority (CA) is expected to approve its budget for 2022/23 tomorrow (Friday), which will include fares through the Birkenhead and Wallasey tunnels increasing by 20p to £2.
