Tolls
(asked on 21st November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether tolls could be introduced to fund the expansion and environmental improvement of the strategic road network.
This question was answered on 30th November 2017
The Government is spending £15 billion through its Road Investment Strategy to improve the Strategic Road Network. No systematic assessment has been made about using tolls for funding expansion and improvement of the strategic road network in general. However, the Government considers that tolls can have a role in funding expensive infrastructure such as river crossings.
