As a resident of the borough, I have witnessed firsthand how the toll charges on the Mersey Tunnel connecting Liverpool to Wirral keep rising. This tunnel road is not just a piece of infrastructure; it's a vital route for people's daily work commute. The burden of these increasing costs falls heavily on us, local residents who already contribute towards our local transportation infrastructure through our council tax.

Our council tax and the money already collected by these scandalous toll charges should be sufficient enough for the current and on going upkeep of this crucial transport link. According to data from Merseytravel, in 2019 alone, over 25 million vehicles used this tunnel (source: Merseytravel Annual Report). This translates into substantial revenue that should be reinvested into maintaining and improving this essential service.

We believe that it is unjust to impose additional financial burdens on local residents who rely on this route every day. It's time for our voices to be heard and for fairness in our transportation system.

We urge you to consider abolishing these toll charges or at least provide exemptions for local residents who depend on this tunnel road as part of their daily lives. Please sign this petition if you agree with us and help bring about change in our community!
