River Tamar: Bridges

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of allocating funding towards the maintenance of the Tamar toll bridge.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

I recognise that The Tamar Crossings are a very important local issue. The Crossings are funded on a ‘user pays’ principle from toll income. No funding is received from Government or from the owners of the Tamar Crossings – Plymouth City Council and Cornwall Council. I do not expect this to change.
