Fund free travel on the Mersey Gateway for people working in Runcorn & Widnes
The Government should fund free travel on the Mersey Gateway for people who commute to work in Runcorn or Widnes. People coming to work in these towns are already directly contributing to the area by working there and spending money in shops etc, and to be charged £2.00+ per crossing is too much.
Since the toll’s introduction in 2017, it has added thousands of pounds per year onto some Halton worker’s outgoings, I personally have made 1,411 crossings to date at a cost of £2,538.00 (this is at £1.80 per crossing for pre-paying). I have lived in Runcorn for most of my life, and have worked there since 2008. I now travel from St. Helens and this has a real impact on my quality of life due to the unwarranted additional costs I incur each month.
