To CAMBRIDGE CITY COUNCIL From BUSINESSES - WORKERS - SHOPPERS - VISITORS - in or to CAMBRIDGE CITY Keep Cambridge City and the rest of the county free. No road pricing here. No new road tolls. No tax on travel. No government bribes to coerce travellers onto inconvenient and expensive public transport. Congestion charging is very inconvenient for the user. The London scheme only makes a profit due to penalties. Other schemes could lead to unexpected large debts with no way to dispute them. How is the driver to know in advance even roughly how much a journey would cost Road pricing is not about reducing congestion, but pricing private cars off the road. It damages business, commuting and social activity. It hurts most those least able to pay. It requires a vast expensive system to monitor every journey. It is an intolerable interference with our freedom. If the council is determined to press ahead, then let the people of Cambridge decide in a fair referendum whether they want congestion charging. This petition will close on 15-10-07, and then be sent to Cambridge City Council If you are resident within the City of Cambridge, please go to this petition - http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/NoCambridgeTollsKeepRoadsFree

If ever a group of Councillors were out of touch with reality this lot qualify. Of course I am going to cycle miles in all weathers or take a horse and trap on a so called 'greenway' (cycleway) to go about my business - not. By the way where is the workplace parking levy proposal that was to proceed any ULEZ/congestion charging in Cambridge?

Businesses will suffer not to mention the health of patients unable to afford both the parking and the congestion charge. Ridiculous suggestion!

Few people who work in the city can afford to live there so you will be penalising many workers. I have a son and family who live in the city so every time I visit I will have to pay. The 'necklace' villages by nature rely on services in Cambridge. It will also adversely affect commerce and businesses in the city.

ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Cambridge is hard enough to get around without adding another tax on top of everything else. Stop trying to destroy local trade.

Just another way to bleed drivers dry. Enough is enough.

Living in a village means I have no choice but to drive. The buses are never on time and it costs a fortune already. Leave our roads alone.

If this includes Addenbrookes Hospital; this is ridiculous.
