Cheaper crossing during peak time to cross Mersey bridge if work in halton

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

To have a ticket that is for people who live outside the borough but work in halton. So they can cross the Mersey bridge during peak hours without it costing a fortune.

I currently work in Runcorn at a school but live in St Helens. Every year it costs me over £750 to be able to go to work at a job I love. This is because I have to go to work during peak time . I also only work Monday to Friday. Halton residents get a huge discount to cross the bridge but what about those that work there.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
