Opposition to the Cambridge congestion charge

Opposition to the Cambridge congestion charge
Why this petition matters

There is now a proposal to start charging all motorist’s £5 a day to enter/leave or drive around the city of Cambridge between 7am-7pm Mon-Fri, I strongly believe this will greatly impact the businesses and individuals at a time when they can ill afford it. This will do nothing to help congestion as most drivers especially those whose journeys start from outside the city have very little option but to drive for work or to carry out their business. The city needs to at least look long term into providing clean efficient alternatives to combustion vehicles including the diesel buses which it seems to favour. This is merely a further tax predominantly affecting the working poor and the residents of Cambridge. Please join me in opposing this blanket charge .
