Clyde Tunnel could see traffic toll booths introduced if funding isn't received from Scottish Government

A senior Glasgow councillor is calling on the Scottish Government to provide more funding to maintain the Clyde Tunnel — or tolls could be required.

Cllr Ruairi Kelly, SNP, has written to the cabinet secretary for transport, Màiri McAllan, to highlight financial pressures on the city’s road network.

His letter follows a report from council officials which revealed current investment in Glasgow’s roads infrastructure “falls short” of what is needed to keep the current condition by £11.2 million.
