I think that the Cities are cutting off noses to spite the visitors! London and now Cambridge, threatening to charge (fine) drivers dressed up as 'congestion charges'. Certainly DH and I will be avoiding any towns that a) won't accept money/cards at their parking areas and b) any that fine visitors for wanting to spend monies in the area.
Cambridge residents are already marching, if I lived nearer!! What happens to the fines - they ought to go towards mending the road surfaces!
£50 per lorry delivering into Cambridge ..... at a time when small businesses don't need any more hassle! People will move to on-line shopping. £10.00 for a van.
