Stop the Unfair Blackwall Tunnel Charges – Protect Commuters Now!

The Blackwall Tunnel is a critical transport route for thousands of Londoners who rely on it daily to get to work, support their families, and keep our city moving. Now Introducing a charge on this essential crossing is not only unfair – it’s punishing the very people who keep London functioning.

Background

Unjust to hardworking commuters who have no realistic alternative, especially those living or working in areas with limited public transport.

Financially harmful during a time when the cost of living is already soaring – this is an added burden for families, small businesses, and key workers.
Blackwall Tunnel should remain free.
