In the meantime, our local MP is running his own survey to provide him with information to help fight the charge. Anthony Browne MP says, “If these plans go ahead, Cambridge will have the most severe congestion charging scheme in the whole of the UK. It will introduce a £5 daily congestion charge to drive in Cambridge, applying to all types of private vehicles, regardless of size and fuel type. It will apply to all journeys into and within the city, including Addenbrooke’s, Royal Papworth, and the Rosie hospitals. It is, without doubt, the most controversial local issue I have dealt with since I was elected as an MP.” Anthony Browne’s survey is linked from here: https://www.anthonybrowne.org/congestion GCP’s consultation on Making Connections is here: http://www.greatercambridge.org.uk/mc-2022 (Anthony Browne MP) |
