A plan to improve transport and charge for entry to ‘Greater Cambridge’ is being proposed by the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP). This is not intending to reduce congestion in Cambridge but to finance more public transport. Do you think this is a good idea? It would mean paying £5 to drive into town, Trumpington, Cherry Hinton, and other areas between 7am and 7pm, but would increase the amount of Park and Ride spaces and offer more bus routes.
