Asset Disposal And The Dartford Crossing

EDM number 2021 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 13/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Roads.

That this House is concerned about Government plans to sell off the Dartford Crossing; notes that this crossing is an integral part of the M25 ring road; further notes that EU regulations only allow for tolls as a means of preventing congestion, yet the Dartford Crossing tolls actually cause congestion and increased carbon emissions; is further concerned that in private ownership toll charges are more likely to be increased; and therefore calls on the Government to remove the tolls and make the crossing part of the public highway like other roads, bridges and tunnels.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
