Have Your Say – Making Connections’ 2022
Have Your Say Here
Today, Monday 17th October, the Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) is launching the ‘Making Connections’ 2022 consultation, running for 10 weeks until 23 December 2022
The GCP has stated that the proposals are a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change how we travel in Greater Cambridge and the wider area with the aim of relieving pressure on the network and responding to air quality, cost of living and climate crises for a better, cleaner and safer future.
Residents and those travelling to the area are being asked for their thoughts on the three parts of the proposal:
1. Transforming the bus network
From mid-2023, GCP is proposing to transform the bus network through new routes (including serving the Wilbrahams and Six Mile Bottom), additional services, cheaper fares and longer operating hours.
2. Investing in other sustainable travel schemes
Alongside the bus network, the GCP is proposing to invest in new sustainable travel schemes, such as better walking and cycling links.
3. Creating a Sustainable Travel Zone
GCP is proposing the introduction of a Sustainable Travel Zone which includes a road user charge. Vehicles would be charged for driving within the zone between 7am and 7pm on weekdays, and money raised would fund improvements to the bus network and other sustainable travel schemes. The Zone would be fully operational in 2027/28 but only after the bus improvements are introduced
