Tweet Sign below to oppose the Cambridge Congestion Charge Current Your details Please tick the box and sign your details below to show your support for this petition against the introduction of a congestion charge by the Greater Cambridge Partnership. Petition statement We, the undersigned, oppose the inclusion of a Congestion Charge in the Public Transport and City Access Strategy. The GCP's proposed scheme will: Unfairly penalise drivers who have no realistic alternative to driving through the new charging zone, imposing up to £1,300 in extra taxes each year on local shift workers, working parents, tradespeople, the frail and vulnerable (and their carers) and all residents of the city. Impose a charge to use our city’s hospitals, including Addenbrooke’s and Royal Papworth, reducing access to essential healthcare for our most vulnerable residents, their families, and NHS staff. Increase traffic in areas outside the charging zone, with GCP’s own analysis showing a potential 15% increase in our local villages. For these reasons and many more listed by signatories, please ensure the proposed congestion charge is not introduced.
