LA LINEA MAYOR PLANS TOLL ON GIBRALTARIAN VISITORS.
La Linea Mayor Alejandro Sanchez shows no signs of backing down on his plan to impose a toll for cars as they enter Spain from Gibraltar. At a press conference today he made clear that the only people certain to be exempt will be persons resident in La Linea of whatever EU nationality. Gibraltarians may now have to pay to visit Spain.
He plans to impose the toll as from October 12 but will tomorrow start works and, on a date to be announced, non-La Linea resident cars will be diverted through the centre of the town.
The toll will be up to 5 euros per car but much higher for goods and other vehicles especially those carrying rubble because, he says, these will affect La Linea’s beaches.
