Louie French said the toll — which is due to be introduced in 2025 — was “yet another attack on drivers” by the Mayor, below, after the £12.50-a-day Ulez clean air zone was widened to the Greater London boundary at the end of August.
Transport for London is due to decide in autumn next year at what level to set the toll, which will also be imposed on the nearby Silvertown Tunnel. Images of draft TfL roads signs that were published in Government documents last month suggested car drivers could be charged up to £4 for each trip through the tunnels, with larger vehicles paying up to £8.50.
At present, the Blackwall Tunnel — which link the A2 and A12 — are used by about 100,000 vehicles a day, with drivers not having to pay a toll.
