Dartford River Crossing Tolls

Proceeding contribution from John Austin (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Dartford River Crossing Tolls.
The hon. Gentleman will know that many of my constituents live much closer to the Dartford crossing than many of the residents of Thurrock or Dartford. Is he aware that until recently, when the discount scheme was introduced, Dartford was receiving, through Kent county council, £1 million a year, and Thurrock was receiving £750,000 a year from the tolls for local transport? Would not it have been more equitable for some of those resources to come to Bexley as well?
