Ian Sollom calls for congestion charge proposal to be scrapped

Lib Dem parliamentary candidate for St Neots and Mid Cambridgeshire, Ian Sollom, has joined calls for revised proposals from the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) for congestion charging in Cambridge to be scrapped and alternative ways to fund bus services to be explored.

Ian said “the GCP’s proposals for congestion charging in Cambridge remain deeply problematic, placing a huge burden on far too many people across our area simply trying to go about their daily lives. And these latest changes mean the scheme will not even pay for the transformational public transport our communities so desperately want.

"The GCP proposals need to be put aside and alternative solutions, such as a workplace parking levy, be developed as soon as possible.”
