John Howell MP (Henley)

“I think local residents have every right to be concerned about a further doubling of the tolls on this bridge. No one wants to see this route turned into the Caversham bypass but there are some real questions to be asked about how the bridge repairs are funded and whether a toll bridge is still appropriate in this day and age. I will be asking the Secretary of State for Transport to ensure that we can have a full debate about this at any public inquiry and that we are not limited only to discussing the tolls themselves.”
