In this week’s Cornish Times, businesses in Saltash have spoken out about the impact of works on the Tamar Bridge on their trade – and motorists using the crossing have experienced long delays through the town. We hear from the bridge management about why the resurfacing work had to be carried out now – and look ahead to the first meeting of the new joint committee on Frida, when tol increases will be discussed.
