Correction to letter’s error
IN a reader’s letter in the Runcorn and Widnes World of August 20, 2014, a resident from Castle Rise, Runcorn claimed it was Halton MP Derek Twigg who applied for and secured the charging order for the publicly-paid-for Silver Jubilee bridge.
This is not correct.
Halton Council applied for the Mersey Gateway tolling/ Silver Jubilee bridge road user charging order. It was submitted to the Secretary of State for Transport and was approved by the government.
We apologise for any inconvenience this error has caused.
