Members of the UK Independence Party protesting against how the tolls imposed by Mersey Tunnels are used across Wirral.
Political campaigners gathered to protest at rising tunnel tolls at a bridge over Wallasey tunnel entrance.

The protest was part of the UK Independence Party national day of action against road tolling across the UK and the deputy leader of UKIP and north west MEP Paul Nuttall was among those at the protest in Wirral.

In Wirral UKIP around 10 activists were campaigning at Oakdale Road bridge, Wallasey from 7.30am this morning, holding a large banner calling for the tolls to be scrapped.
Leader of Wirral UKIP Phil Griffiths was there, along with MEP Paul Nuttall, UKIP deputy leader, who said: "Modern day motorists are fleeced by ANPR cameras and electronic tolling systems rather than by a man wearing a mask and brandishing pistols, but we should make no mistake – it is still highway robbery.”

It means car drivers using the Mersey tunnels will see the toll they pay for each journey rise by 10p, to £1.70, from April 1.
It is the second year in a row that tolls have increased for users of the Birkenhead and Wallasey tunnels.
The 'Scrap the Tolls' campaign was launched by UKIP leader Nigel Farage in 2002.
He said: "Our opposition to road tolling is longstanding, and our campaign gets larger every year. Road tolls are bad for the environment, bad for traffic congestion and bad for motorists’ wallets.
"They represent nothing more than a stealth tax on motorists who already pay road tax to use the public road network in the UK."
