Council Response to Objections to P&R Charges

If you followed our suggestion that you write to Cambridgeshire County Council about the
proposed charges to park at the Milton P&R site you should be getting a letter from the council about now thanking you for your representation.

The letter details the changes we have already reported here:

  • that the charge of £1 will apply for 18 hours parking rather than 12
  • that parking will be prohibited in Butt Lane beyond the A10 bypass
  • that the council will undertake a survey of the level of parking in Milton before and after the introduction of the parking charge, to see what effect if any the parking charge has on parking there.

It’s also worth noting that the letter says:

The largest number of representations were concerns about the risk of parking being displaced, in particular in the village of Milton and increasing the level of traffic around Milton Primary school.

so thank you to everyone who wrote in. The volume of representations clearly had an effect.
