Yes. Good for him, and for everyone who got to use his road too!
Note that
Despite the Kelston Toll Road not being approved by the local council, Watts hadn’t committed a crime.
The road was in use for 14 weeks before the council asked for retrospective approval and the nearby highway A431 reopened early.
He stopped because there was no longer construction for drivers to avoid by paying his toll.
There’s precedent for it, with West Virginia. The problem is that the way that the Senate works makes what could have been a local issue extremely national.
