The cost of crossing the Tamar Bridge could be hiked by 40 per cent, from 50p to 70p for concessionary users. Bridge bosses are urging Plymouth and Saltash residents to get involved in a concessionary crossing toll consultation process and voice their views on the proposed increase.

The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Committee is looking at the possibility of increasing the TamarTag tolls across the bridge from 50p to 70p for every journey from January, next year - a 40 per cent rise. The committee is also looking at the possibility of increasing cash tolls in 2010.
