Rejected petition Stop charging tolls on the tamar bridge Plymouth to saltash

As most other bridges have stopped charging tolls why are we still having to pay here in devon / Cornwall it’s a high way and should be funded

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The operation of, and toll charged for, crossing the Tamar Bridge are matters for the Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry Joint Committee. This Committee is made up of councillors from each of the two Joint Authorities, Plymouth City Council and Cornwall Council. This means the UK Government is not responsible for the action this petition calls for.

You could therefore start a petition calling for Cornwall Council to take this action. You can find out how to do this here: https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/the-council-and-democracy/campaigns-consultations-and-petitions/petitions/.

You could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you. You can find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them, by entering your post code here:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
