Dartford Crossing Price increase

Dartford Crossing Price increase

To not increase the dart charge prices but to stop further charging

Why is this important?

In the beginning we were promised that toll charges would stop once the crossing had paid for itself. Then the government welched on that agreement and said it would continue until they had a maintenance fund, currently crossing charges make a whopping £70 million profit; but still we continue to pay exorbitant charges; and they continue to increase the prices;
and the money is being used to fund other projects which is in breach of the agreement.

Reasons for signing

  • What happened to once it's paid for we'll stop charging? We've probably paid for the damn thing several times over by now.

  • If the congestion wasn't so bad I wouldn't mind the cost. But the charge of this toll is outrageous considering the constant delays!

  • This is a decrease in the discount rate. Regular users have already suffered increases applied to others. It was also supposed to be free by now, but it is in reality just another road tax.
