Many villagers walk or cycle to Milton’s P&R site but if you have to drive for any reason then you might be interested in the option to pay online. You can use this on a one-off basis, to purchase a season ticket, or to set up a regular payment to cover your parking charge. And by doing so you can avoid the queues at the machines which have been a problem at busy times. To find out more visit www.cambridgeparkandride.com.

There have also been reports of pensioners getting confused, and pressing the “Park and Ride” button which then charges them for riding, which is free with
a bus pass – for now at least they only need to pay to park.
