The new Mayor has been quick to remove the evidence of her predecessor's plans to charge a toll to reach Gibraltar

The new Socialist, PA and IU Ayuntamiento in La Linea on Tuesday started to remove the bollards put down by the previous PP Mayor, Alejandro Sánchez, as part of his failed plans to charge a toll on traffic crossing the municipality to get into Gibraltar.

The new Socialist Mayor, Gemma Araujo, thus did away with the so-called ‘congestion charge’ which had generated hostility on both sides of the border.
‘With this initiative the new administration has carried out an approach to calm coexistence with the neighbouring population of Gibraltar’, she said.
‘For this government an improvement in relations with Gibraltar is fundamental’.
