At the next County Council meeting on the 13th October we will be discussing, and voting, on the Conservative Administrations' application for funding from the Transport Innovation Fund. The headline for this will be that it could lead to a congestion charge being implemented for Cambridge City in 2017 (eight years time) providing certain, as yet unspecified, trigger-points are reached (levels of congestion, pollution, etc).
As a first stage, the Conservative Administration is asking for early confirmation of Government funding for Chesterton Station which would then be built in 2012 (three years earlier than planned).

As I'm your representative on the County Council I'd be very interested in hearing your views. If you have any questions relating to the TIF proposal either add a comment or send me an email. and I'll try to provide answers.
This is going to be an on-going issue for several years (well, assuming this doesn't fall at the first hurdle on Tuesday!) so there will be plenty of time for people to comment and we (the Lib Dem group on the County) are expecting lots of votes down the line on various aspects of the TIF proposal - I will Blog these as and when they come up.
