Blackwall Tunnel and the new Silvertown Thames tunnel

“In 2025, the Mayor of London will be taking a further £160 per month* of commuters' hard-earned income if they travel by car using the Blackwall Tunnel or the new Silvertown Thames tunnel. 

Motorbike and Uber drivers will also be paying the tolls.

Voice your opposition. You still have power to oppose this. Don’t leave it to the last minute!

The tolls announced in July (a couple of days after the General Election results) for these tunnels threaten to disrupt ordinary peoples' way of life. An imposed toll system would hurt families, individuals, and businesses who depend on these routes. 

According to Transport for London, each day an estimated 120,000 vehicles travel between the East London (north and south of the river) using these tunnels, demonstrating the potential adverse impact that such a policy change will have on our community.

The financial burden these tolls will place upon residents of East London is concerning. We believe in the freedom of movement and affordable access to transportation for all citizens. Therefore, we urge the relevant London authorities to rethink the proposed tolls on the Thames tunnels and consider the impact on local residents.

Let's stand together, uphold the interests of our community, and say a firm ‘No’ to the new proposed Thames tunnel tolls. Sign this petition today to voice your opposition.

The Mayor needs to review the funding proposals for the Silvertown tunnel and find a fairer system for all Londoners.”
