Protesters rally against Cambridge congestion charge plans
People gathered on Parker's Piece in Cambridge to voice their opposition to a congestion charge
Hundreds of people took part in a rally to protest at the planned introduction of a congestion charge in Cambridge. The Greater Cambridge Partnership has proposed a £5 charge for private vehicles between 07:00 and 19:00 on weekdays, to be introduced by 2027-28.It was the second demonstration in the city in the past three months, with another taking place in December.
The Greater Cambridge Partnership - a body which includes three local councils, businesses and the University of Cambridge - has proposed a "sustainable travel zone", covering most of the city.The scheme has three main aims; to improve the bus network through more services and cheaper fares; to increase sustainable travel options such as better walking and cycling links and; to impose a road user charge to reduce air pollution and cut congestion.
He said: "There are workplace parking levies. There are all sorts of different options that don't place the burden on the poorest and sickest in society."
