The next update on the potential Cambridge congestion charge and 'London-style' bus network is expected to come in the summer.

The Greater Cambridge Partnership (GCP) held a consultation last year on its proposals to introduce a 'Sustainable Travel Zone', where a £5-weekday charge would apply for drivers driving in and around the city between 7am and 7pm as part of a "once in a generation" plan.

More than 23,000 responses were received during the consultation, and the GCP's executive board is expected to be asked to make a recommendation to Cambridgeshire County Council on what should be progressed following the analysis of the consultation and further technical work in June.

Money raised from the charge is proposed to fund more frequent and cheaper buses, with flat fares of £1 in Cambridge and £2 in the wider area proposed.

The GCP has said the improvements would be made before the potential road charge was implemented.

Several exemptions to the road charge were proposed, including for people on low incomes.

A report published ahead of the GCP's joint assembly meeting later this week said a paper on the project is due to be presented to members in June.

It said: "During the consultation, the GCP held or attended over 100 public meetings, virtual and outreach events and convened more than 50 focus groups.

"We achieved our aim of securing wide representation; we received over 23,000 responses to the online survey and more than 100 formal stakeholder responses.

"This is the highest consultation response rate the GCP has ever achieved as groups on each side of the debate put forward their reasons for their support or objection.

"Work will now begin to analyse the huge amount of data and information which has been collected, including the many written answers which were an important feature of the survey."
