A tiny bit better, but still not yet the right solution!

My wife and I often walk around Trumpington and through the current park and ride car park and I don't think we've ever seen the car park anywhere close to capacity so I can't imagine why this extra car park is required.

Of course, the smart money is on the fact it will be required when the congestion charge kicks in, but that'll be before this "hub" is anywhere close to being completed!

Ha ha! Some of these are petty, I don't know what people expect!

Looking at the plans for the Beehive, I think it's way too ambitious and I can't see it being fully utilised.

Also, that side of the retail park has all of the thriving stores, where are they all going to move to?!

Who'd have thought that the developers would prioritise selling homes over providing amenities!!

Is the redevelopment of the Beehive necessary?

Where are all the current businesses supposed to move to, if at all?

Do we really need more laboratories and offices in Cambridge?

Where are all the new workers for theses labs and offices supposed to park or travel in from?

OK, so this is a hot topic in Cambridge, what are your thoughts on the proposed congestion charge for Cambridge city?

My personal opinion is that I'm not opposed to a congestion charge, I just don't think that the proposed plan is a fair or good solution. As we can all appreciate, traffic in Cambridge is very busy and that something needs to be done. We do have a great Park & Ride infrastructure, but some of the other bus routes could do with improving. I personally use the P&R occasionally and it works for me, but I know some people that need to take multiple busses to get across the city.

I live in the proposed zone, however I am right on the edge and I work outside of Cambridge so I will be paying to leave Cambridge!!!

Also, as an EV owner I appreciate that all cars cause congestion and this isn't an environmental push.

This proposal, to me, seems an easy cash cow for GCP, it is being implemented for week days only, so affecting people travelling to work and by excluding weekends it is not going to affect people coming to Cambridge for tourism and shopping which adds to the congestion!
