Is introducing a congestion charge in Cardiff a good idea? People seemed pretty clear on their thoughts regarding the question when WalesOnline put it to our readers.
On Friday, March 18, it was reported that the Labour group in control of Cardiff council has refused to rule out introducing a charge on drivers in the city ahead of the upcoming local elections. Conservative councillors called on Cardiff council to scrap any plans to bring in a charge for drivers to use roads in the city, in a late-night debate on Thursday, March 17.
One proposal for how the charge would work, put forward in January 2020, would have seen a charge of £2 or £3 a day levied on anyone driving into Cardiff with residents exempt. However, that was dubbed a tax on the Valleys by politicians outside the capital. See all the details of the 2020 proposal here.
