Visiting motorists 'should pay to use Clyde Tunnel'
Scottish Daily Express
|July 15, 2025
PROPOSALS to make drivers living outside of Glasgow pay to use the Clyde Tunnel are “reasonable”, a Scottish Labour MSP has insisted.
Paul Sweeney said it was no longer realistic to expect the SNP-run city council to keep paying for the tunnel on its own.
The Glasgow MSP warned the cashstrapped local authority was already spending around 10% of its entire roads maintenance budget on keeping the 62-year-old tunnel open.
It comes as councillors consider a boundary congestion charge and potential tolling at the Clyde Tunnel, with exemptions for city residents.
Sweeney said: “It’s not sustainable for Glasgow City Council (GCC) to continue maintaining the Clyde Tunnel without additional funds, with 10 per cent of the city’s entire annual road maintenance budget now being eaten up by the maintenance-intensive tunnel.
