Tunnel Tolls Cause Uproar in London

Residents in the London borough of Bexley are up in arms over the recent implementation of tolls at the new Silvertown and Blackwall tunnels. The Bexley Council (@BexleyCouncil) argues that tolls are unfair and disproportionately impact commuters needing to cross the Thames daily for work. The toll, now active, increases travel costs significantly, with discounts offered mainly to low-income residents and certain businesses. The council claims these changes ignore their longstanding requests for better transport links and fear this adds an unnecessary financial burden on the community.
