Cllr Mark A Kirk

If you're planning to object to the latest toll increase to cross the Humber Bridge, you only have until Monday 6 October to do so. If you do object, the chances are the increase, which would take place almost immediately, will be put on hold while the Government orders a local public inquiry to consider objections.

The Humber Bridge Board wants to see an increase in the tolls for all classes of vehicle - for a return car trip the cost would be £5.80 and for the largest HGV, £39.80.

To object you just have to give your reason why the planned increase is not something you can support. Your letter has to go 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
HU1 2AA.

If you want to see a local public inquiry held, please say so in your letter.

Attached below is a letter template you may wish to use to submit your objection.
