the severn bridge tolls should be scrapped

first day in bristol,and i have paid £12.40 for a small van,how much of a deterrent is the cost for any buisness to set up in wales when a lorry is £18.60....time to demolish the toll.

Still cheaper than paying for the petrol and time to go around unfortunatly .
If youve got a small van get an estate car its half the price but still too expensive

Think its set to go up again.

Excuse me for lightning the mood ya miserable get

One of my customers has a transporter van for his floorlaying business, He has put a fake side window on and now pays the car price so saves him a fortune.

Look on the job internet sites, its shocking, the amount of jobs around bristol and Gloucester compared to south wales

kenfighill blue you are totally correct . I commute over every day and there seems to be more and more traffic every week

Jobs are plentifull in wurzel land yet over here in South Wales it 's almost dead

the sooner the bridge tolls are scrapped the better for the welsh economy but it won't happen .

As been said before tolls untill 2017 , wag wants to take over then! £2 would cover maintanance costs but no chance in hell of thay happening , some foreign company will get contract and keep costs high!

The french people who own it will never scrap it.

French/italian, but the contract ends sep 2017 reverts to GB ownership like said wag want it!

Class Lee (Bowman) I travel to work over the Bridge to get to work all the time and the price 6.20 is disgusting. The French company who own it ain't gonna change it. They say it pays for maintenance but yeah just the paint.
The original Bridge the Cables are Fooked but because of the costs the good old Taxpayer is paying for that And the government has said when the Bridge comes back to them they are keeping the tolls as they are

People won't like to hear it but the Bristol area is massively more prosperous than the Cardiff area.

We only just keep pace because we are the Welsh capital. It is down to the tolls and the airport. There was a time when both airports had the same traffic the Cardiff turned down Easyjet and now they are miles apart.

Slightly off track but if we don't expand the Motorpoint Arena soon, Bristol will get their act together and build their arena. 7 - 10k seats and the Motorpoint will die.

Totally agree regarding Motorpoint as well mate.We miss out on so many acts as its too small and acts dont want to stay 2,3,4 nights to justify it.

This is a real bugbear of mine. There are certain bands that want at least 10k of seats and we have either 5k or 75k. It's better than Bristol at the moment, but if they get their 10k arena near Temple Meads, they will take everything up to 10k as they have the Colston hall, O2 and then the arena.

Lucky for us they are pretty poor at sorting out planning over there.

I'd get Admiral Insurance to aid the expansion, they are building a monstrosity of a building right between St David's 2 and the Motorpoint. Destroyed the public area.

i think you should show your passport at the toll. if your welsh. free entry. if your english. double the price,

It used to be pay both ways. But it was cheaper for them to charge just one way
