Businesses would welcome scrapping of bridge tollpublished at 08:53 British Summer Time 12 October 2018
Businesses would welcome tolls being scrapped on the Humber Bridge, after it was claimed they could be abolished if Yorkshire got devolution.

Steve Burell said: "It would certainly open up North Lincolnshire to East Yorkshire, it would open up the area to a new sector of people."
Yesterday, Stewart Arnold, the leader of the Yorkshire Party, claimed if Yorkshire had similar political powers to Scotland or Wales, then charges may be removed.

Humber Bridge toll could be scrapped in devolved Yorkshirepublished at 13:27 British Summer Time 11 October 2018
Tolls on the Humber Bridge are a barrier to economic growth and could be scrapped if Yorkshire had devolution, it's been claimed.
Stewart Arnold, the leader of the Yorkshire Party, believes that if the region had similar political powers to Scotland or Wales, then charges could be removed.
Mr Arnold says he's looking to the example of the Severn Bridge, which links England and Wales, which is getting rid of its £5.60 charge by December.
He said: "This is less a bridge and more of a barrier.
"It's been hanging around our neck in this part of the world for a very long time."
