Decision due on price increase of Tamar toll and ferrypublished at 08:32 Greenwich Mean Time 18 December 2018
A decision could be made on Tuesday to increase the cost of driving from Cornwall into Devon by 33%.
Cornwall Council's cabinet will be asked to approve a bid to the Department for Transport to increase Tamar Bridge tolls, and the cost of using the Torpoint ferry, by a third at a meeting starting at 10:00.
At the moment, it costs £1.50 for cars to cross the bridge or use the ferry.
However, under the new charges, it would go up to £2.
Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council, which are jointly responsible for managing the bridge and ferry, are also set to ask the Department For Transport to allow them to carry out annual reviews of the charges.
They want the ability to increase prices in line with inflation without having to go to the government for approval.
