Date for your diaries - 7th october

[Pricey]

For anyone who use the tolls. This is the date, now confirmed, where the toll at the Dartford River Crossing will RISE to £2 per crossing, up from the current £1.50.

Between 10pm and 6am is still free.

Still ridiculous.

Yes they were.

But as usual the motorist has got to bail the country out.
