Relief for commercial vehicles: Up to 50% reduction in toll for elevated sections on NHs
Friday, 4 July 2025 () The road transport ministry has announced a new rule that could reduce toll rates by up to 50% for bridges, tunnels, flyovers, and elevated sections on National Highways. This move aims to provide relief to commercial and heavy vehicles, particularly on tolled sections with numerous structures.
A five-day walkout by resident doctors in England began this morning after talks with the UK Government broke down on Tuesday. Members of the British Medical Association (BMA) are on picket lines across the country demanding a 26% pay rise and better working conditions. Health Secretary Wes Streeting says he and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer are “angry on behalf of patients and other NHS staff.” Report by Jonesia.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has condemned the BMA’s five-day strike as “reckless and unnecessary,” saying he and the prime minister are “angry on behalf of patients.” He praised NHS staff, including many resident doctors defying the strike, for cancelling leave to keep services going.

Co-Chair of BMA Dr Melissa Ryan has said resident doctors need the Health Secretary and the government to ''negotiate properly and give an offer''. It comes as thousands of resident doctors are set to walk out from 7am on Friday for five days. The public have been urged to keep coming forward for NHS care during the walkout. GP surgeries will open as usual and urgent care and A&E will continue to be available, alongside 111, NHS England said. Report by Gluszczykm.
