There are no plans to build any new toll roads in Staffordshire or the Midlands.
The Government are exploring the scope for road pricing to help tackle road congestion. In the Midlands, the Government have awarded the metropolitan authorities in the West Midlands, and local authorities in the cities of Nottingham, Leicester and Derby and their surrounding counties, funding to study the nature of their congestion problem and the potential road pricing-based packages to address it. No proposals have been put forward and no decisions have been made.
