£172k Bill for Police Bridge Crossing

POLICE are paying a massive £172k each year to go over the Humber Bridge each day.
Humberside Police have spent £863,928 over the past five years on the bridge toll – known as "home to work passes" – for staff working on one side of the bridge and living on the other.
In 2007/8, £208k was spent, following revelations made by the Hull Daily Mail.
Ian Watson, assistant chief officer for Humberside Police, defended the expenditure as "good value for money".
