This is a good move for South Wales but what about other river crossings. The Humber Bridge and the Mersey Crossings are both tolled. On Merseyside both tunnels have tolls and now upstream the bridges at Runcorn are to be tolled as well.

Again it's one rule in the South and another for the North.

Have a nie cruise Cindersdad, then come back refreshed and start a campaign to have tolls taken off all bridges and tunnels!

We pay enough in road tax, sorry, the vehicle licence fee.

Even the quirky little toll at Batheaston costs 70p! Each way.

although I think that the money is needed for the upkeep because I doubt that the Highways Agency would cough up.
