A senior councillor says work is needed on a proposal to raise £50m a year for public transport.
The plans aimed to cut traffic in Cambridge by half and create a "London-style" bus networkA "better scheme" for charging motorists to drive in Cambridge needs designing, according to a senior councillor.Original proposals would see cars charged £5 a day.
Last year it ran a public consultation into plans to charge car drivers £5 a day to travel into or around Cambridge between 07:00 and 19:00 on weekdays. Elisa Meschini, a Labour county councillor who chairs the GCP Executive Board, said since going through feedback from the consultation "we want to do more to address" concerns.
The cost of doing so would be "relatively substantial" and because "the hospitals are already a significant contributor to congestion, exempting trips would not improve congestion, particularly prevalent in that part of the city".
