Rejected petition Stop the tolls on the Merseytunnels.

The Railway tunnel opened in 1887 Queensway in 1934 and Kingsway in 1971. End the £10.5m subsidies to other transport schemes and use it to pay off the £45m debts by 2020 instead if 2045. We all know the Conservatives dislike subsidies as that why your trying to end tax credits.

More details

The Isle of Skye Bridge opened in 1995 and has already made a £10m profit and the Scottish government bought the bridge from the private consortium for £27m. Hope your not giving up just because Ester McVey lost her seat in the Wirral.
