A petition with more than 37,000 signatures has been presented at City Hall, calling for the scrapping of new tolls for the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels. Residents argue these tolls threaten everyday life and could have a detrimental impact on families and businesses reliant on these routes.
Transport for London states that tolls are needed to manage traffic and maintain air quality. Without the charges, they predict significant increases in traffic, leading to delays and congestion. The introduction of tolls is also intended to cover the £2 billion construction cost of the new Silvertown Tunnel.
