The Hull Daily Mail has revealed a third bid to slash the Humber Bridge tolls, this time from North Lincolnshire Council.
The council claims it will cut the tolls in half to £1.50 each way for cars by April, rather than several years down the line, because it will pay back the £100 million borrowed over 24 years rather than eight.
I can't imagine ministers will back a plan put forward by just one of the Humber councils. However, there is now unstoppable momentum to lift the Humber Bridge debt burden and slash the tolls. Malcolm Scott deserves huge credit for getting the ball rolling.
