Written question asked by Ben Maguire (Liberal Democrat) on Thursday, 18 July 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 23 July 2024. It was answered by Lilian Greenwood (Labour) on Thursday, 25 July 2024 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


River Tamar: Bridges

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.

Answer

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.
