Once again I return to the issue of the Humber Bridge as it has been the subject of much debate recently, including gathering support in Parliament.

Two big events are being lined up:

The first is a protest march cross the Bridge tomorrow, organised by Humber Action Against Tolls, which starts at 9.30am on Saturday 28^th February. (I always love walking across the bridge, but once my dog got freaked out by making the mistake of looking down through a small hole and she saw the water swirling below – I wouldn’t recommend it.)

The second is a public inquiry meeting, which starts at 10am on Tuesday 3^rd March at Willerby Manor. This is a meeting, chaired by an independent planning inspector, to decide whether to approve the proposed toll increase (which would mean a rise from the current £2.70 for a car to £2.90).

Campaigners are calling on protestors to descend in great numbers for the walk, as well as for the public meeting, to make their views clear to the planning inspector. We seem to be drifting between no tolls, £1 tolls and now a whopping £2.90. Here’s hoping it’s not the latter…
