Search for£1bn boost if Humber Bridge tolls axed

The Scunthorpe Telegraph yesterday saw a copy of the study commissioned by the four unitary authorities bordering the bridge.
The consultants said the benefit to the area would be about £39-million in 2009, and a staggering £1.1-billion over the next 25 years.
An option of reducing the toll to £1 per car was also examined.
The study was commissioned at a time when the Humber Bridge Board is proposing to raise the tolls again.
The Scunthorpe Telegraph has been running its A Toll Too Far campaign since mid-September to stop the Humber Bridge tolls rising again.
The campaign is calling for a public inquiry into the proposals.
