SO THERE are now dedicated fast tag lanes at the Wallasey tunnel to speed up traffic flow. I have a much better idea – do away with the tolls.

That would ease congestion, assist struggling small businesses and please commuters.

Motorists are fed up with this highway robbery and being treated as cash cows and it has always been thought by the public that one fine day the debt for the tunnels would be paid off.

The most recent figures show a staggering £10m profit and Merseytravel uses the money dropped in the baskets every year for whatever it fancies.

The two tunnels should be regarded as an integral part of the national road system and be toll free and not facing yet another price hike.

It is an unfair tax which hits motorists particularly hard.
