Residents in Cardiff could be made to pay for a possible future congestion charge in the city despite suggestions in the past that they might be exempt, the city council leader has said. Councillor Huw Thomas was speaking as he revealed the city's hope to bring in a charge for road users.
We've compiled this article to bring together all the information in the public domain about Cardiff's plans for the road user payment, which would be aimed at improving air quality and reducing congestion. It could be used to improve public transport in Cardiff by going towards a number of initiatives like a city wide tram system and an improved bus network. Cardiff Council added that several improvements to public transport in the city would have to be up and running before any payment scheme is brought in.
However, there is an long way to go before any charge is approved. The council's cabinet will meet on Thursday April 27 to discuss and make a decision on plans to begin a project looking into different road user payment schemes.
