Written evidence from J M Locke
SEVERN BRIDGE
TOLLS
I have just read the article in tonight's "South
Wales Argus" concerning the future of tolls on the Severn
Bridges, and by coincidence, have just written to The Secretary
of State for Transport, on the associated and wider issue of motorway
tolls generally.
I enclose a copy of this letter on the topic,
which has been a "bee in my bonnet" for many years.
I trust that you will find the contents of interest and that you
will agree with my philosophy, and that you will give it serious
consideration when you take evidence at your enquiry. I strongly
believe that this very logical, simple (and typically Swiss),
method of toll collection warrants very serious consideration.
Indeed, it is so simple and obvious I do not know why it has not
been considered before.
