Mersey Gateway Launches Consultation
Mersey Gateway Launches Consultation
The Mersey Gateway Crossings Board Ltd, on behalf of Halton Borough Council (“Council”), is conducting a consultation in connection with the Council’s proposals to (i) modify the existing River Mersey (Mersey Gateway Bridge) Order 2011 and (ii) implement a new Road User Charging Scheme Order.
The aforementioned proposals will entitle the Council to rely upon the Road User Charging Schemes (Penalty Charges, Adjudication and Enforcement) (England) Regulations 2013 to collect unpaid toll/charges incurred by users of the Mersey Gateway Bridge and Silver Jubilee Bridge.
