Cllr Mark A Kirk

I was disappointed to read today of the plans by the Humber Bridge Board to increase the cost of a one-way car crossing by 20p to £2.90.  I have been at the forefront of the campaign to remove the cost of crossing the bridge and I strongly object to any further rises.

If the scheme goes ahead the new pricing structure will come into force in October. However, people can object and if enough constructive objections are submitted this could mean a local enquiry would have to be held into the proposed rises.

If you wish to object to the plans, you must write, giving your reasons for opposing the rise to:

Secretary of State for Transport, c/o Mr Julian Smith

Road Strategy Division

Department for Transport

Zone 3/05, Great Minster House

76 Marsham Street

London

SW1P 4DR

You also have to send a copy of your letter to:

The Humber Bridge Board

c/o Mr P Dearing

Kingston Upon Hull City Council

Legal Service

Guildhall

Hull

All objections must be received by the Secretary of State for Transport, and the Humber Bridge Board by October 6.
