| 351 | Anonymous | Since housing in Cambridge is very high cost, many people are forced to live beyond cycling range. Public transport from such locations is poor or non existent and so this becomes an additional cost. I have no choice but to live outside the congestion zone, my salary is not high! |
| 352 | A Strawson | I live 20 miles with no regular public transport to Cambridge. I already use a motorcycle to ease congestion yet you want me to more than trebble my travel costs and use park and ride or pay to enter Cambridge. i'll be looking for a new job I'm afraid. |
| 353 | Tim Fowler | Cambridge relies on its visitors - both business and tourist. Why then plan to make the city so inhospitable that it turns them away, instead of planning to accomodate them? |
| 354 | Steven Esdale | With the current lack of decent public transport into certain areas of Cambridge, a congestion charge is not the correct way to address the problem at this point of time in my opinion. |

| 357 | Barry Parr | This is just another "easy" money scheme to fill County Council coffers and the people's pockets who run it, at the expense of the working class person who needs to commute to work, in the city. |
| 358 | Anonymous | There are no public transport links from Wicken so without adequate connections what are we supposed to do. Why should those working on teh Science PArk be penalised for a few hundred yard journey from the A14 they are nowhere near the City Centre. |

| 360 | Dave | I work in Cambridge, I will have to change job if road pricing is introduced. The council can't claim I should use public transport as the council removed the bus I used to use so I can't! |
| 361 | Anonymous | My parents, who are in their eighties, live in Cambridge. Their health is failing and I visit them frequently. Although they live some way from the centre of Cambridge, off Cherryhinton Road, I understand that their house is within the proposed congestion charging area. I strongly object to being charged to visit my parents. I need the car to take them to the doctor/Addenbrooke's Hospital/the local shops. |

| 368 | Peter Leverkus | If traffic in Cambridge is to be reduced, the City Council should introduce positive incentives to encourage drivers to use alternative transport. The negative, repressive tax of road pricing merely disenfranchises the Council, is divisive and causes enmity. |

| 372 | Anonymous | This is just another stealth tax. Don't believe the politicians, the congestion charge didnot save london traffic, but killed the small businesses in the area!
Where is democracy? |
| 373 | Anonymous | Improve the public transport first, then we can talk about congestion charge! |

| 378 | Mark | Having to commute on the A14 to work is surely paying enough? |
| 379 | Anonymous | I live in a small village with poor public transport and work at Cambridge Science Park. As I start work at 8.00 am and the first bus from our village to Royston railway station is at 7.05, there is no way I can get to work on time by public transport. If this bus is cancelled, the next one isn't for another two hours.! |
| 380 | Derek Wallis | Including the science park in such a scheme is madness, and nothing more than a thinly veiled money-making exercise on the part of the council. Given the number of high-tech companies on the Milton Road science / industrial parks, this WILL damage the Cambridge economy. |

| 383 | Tracy | I have to drive from Cottenham to the Cambridge Science Park to get to work. With a poor bus service and dirty buses that isn't a way that I can get to work.I WILL NOT BE PAYING MY HARD EARNED WAGES on your get rich quick scheme. I will, like everyone else, avoid paying. Illegal parking, or after the allotted paying times. END OF!!! |
| 384 | Anonymous | I work at Addenbrookes full time. I work 4 long shifts a week it already costs me £1.40 per day to park as the park and ride doesn't run early enough or late enough to cover my shift times, and there is no bus service at appropriate times. I would have to rethink my postion at Addenbrookes if a congestion charge was introduced |

| 386 | Anonymous | Totally against charges for all Cambridge residents and visitors. |
| 387 | G. Shaw | Congestion charges would be expensive and totally inconvenient to all residents and visitors. It would threaten my life style and freedom of movement. My wife has a health condition which entirely relys on continued use of the car each day. |

| 389 | Keith Waters | I can't afford to live in Cambridge, the public transport is not fast enough reliable enough or flexible enough, how do the councils expect employers to find staff, the workforce will simply move elsewhere. |

| 394 | Anonymous | This seems not to be a city centre congestion charge as it includes such a wide area. I note that Addenbrookes hospital is included in the charge zone. Is this smart city planners income generating from essential workers. |

| 396 | Ann Griffiths | I am a frequent visitor to look after my grandson in Cambridge. It is the bus lanes that clog up the streets, especially southbound in Trumpington Road, just north of the junction with Long Road. |
| 397 | Charlotte Gilmartin | If this is going to go ahead, i think my salary should increase to compensate it, as i already pay £400 in childcare fees and get no help, especially being a part time staff member |
| 398 | Anonymous | I travel to Addenbrookes each day and I already pay
£32 per week petrol and park & ride, a congestion charge would be the last straw. If they take some tax off petrol and scrap the road tax then I would feel happier to pay a congestion charge. |

| 400 | Jane Miller | If the proposed cameras come into play, I will have to drive approx 10 miles from Girton through Oakington, Dry Drayton and Madingley to get to the University Park and Cycle car park on Madingley Road (a 2 mile drive at the moment) to catch the Univ 4 bus to Addenbrookes, adding 50mins onto my return journey each day. There is aalso the cost/use of fuel for the extra journey. I thought the idea was to reduce congestion and not clog up the outskirts of Cambridge because people are having to make long detours so that they don't pay large amounts of money each day getting to work. |
