• Plans to ban lorries from using the two-mile Queensway tunnel in Merseyside have moved a step closer as the Department of Transport considers how to organise truck diversions before asking Parliament to legislate the ban.
It needs to agree new signage with tunnels authority Mersey Travel so that trucks are diverted long before they reach the tunnel entrance.
Local haulier Dispatchorama believes the ban will cost it nearly £3,500 a year in extra running time.
"We will have to transfer our route to the Wallasey tunnel, which will result in delays," says manager John Morris.
