Cambridge is ****-bent on introducing a congestion charge there, too, so I expect that it will go downhill very rapidly. It will kill the city centre businesses, and John Lewis has already said it would close their store there if the CC goes ahead.
That would be a death knell for the out of town economy. Peterborough’s city centre has degraded immeasurably (yes it wasn’t great to begin with) since JL popped out.
Yes, Cambridge students tend to be more affluent but the demographic with money - 40 plus - come from far and wide to Cambridge, with JL as the lynchpin alongside Apple. Take those two out…
