SOME
Cambridge
services
could
be
squeezed
as
the
city
council
faces
a163
680,000
shortfall
caused
by
funding
8216fr
ee8217
bus
travel.
Since
April
1,
over
60s
and
the
disabled
have
been
able
to
travel
fr
ee
on
buses
acr
oss
England,
with
the
council
picking
up
the
bill
wher
ee
ach
journey
starts.
The
Local
Government
Association
(LGA)
has
warned
that
re
sidents
and
tax-
payers
of
all
ages
in
Cambridge
and
other
tourist
hotspots
ar
en
ow
set
to
lose
out.
After
ar
ecent
re
port
fr
om
the
Tr
ansport
Select
Committee,
which
said
it
was
essential
that
the
new
scheme
was
funded
pr
operly
,c
oncerns
have
been
raised
that
council
services
for
all
may
have
to
be
cut
to
cover
the
cost
of
the
fr
ee
far
es.
Cambridge
City
Council
has
re
ceived
163648,000
in
new
money
fr
om
the
Govern-
ment
to
fund
the
fr
ee
bus
travel
but
it
believes
the
number
of
people
using
the
city8217s
buses
will
cost
double
the
grant.
The
council
is
alr
eady
sifting
thr
ough
its
budgets
to
try
and
find
extra
cash
to
fund
the
service.
Councillor
Sian
Reid,
executive
councillor
for
climate
change
and
gr
owth,
admitted:
8220It
is
worrying.8221
She
added:
8220Our
pr
ediction
is
that
we
ar
e163
680,000
down
for
the
year
.
8220W
ed
on
ot
yet
know
what
the
seasonal
pattern
could
be
and
our
pr
ediction
could
be
right
or
wr
ong.
8220163680,000
is
ah
uge
amount
out
of
our
budget
and
we
ar
er
eviewing
all
our
services
to
see
wher
ew
ec
an
get
savings.
8220It
is
ab
ig
squeeze
to
find
the
money
.8221
In
its
re
sponse
to
the
Tr
ansport
Select
Committee,
the
Government
said
it
was
confident
its
funding
was
suf
ficient.
It
said
bus
operators
should
only
re
ceive
enough
to
cover
their
mar
ginal
additional
costs,
rather
than
full
far
es.
But
the
LGA
says
the
Tr
easury
must
re
view
its
calculations
for
how
much
authorities
will
need
to
avoid

8220What
ar
et
he
police
playing
at?
This
is
ac
rime.
It
will
cost
us
at
least
163800
to
re
pair
the
car
and
my
neighbour
will
have
to
fork
out
al
ot
for
the
wall
and
gates.
8220It
is
so
disgusting
8211t
he
police
say
crime
in
Chesterton
is
going
down
but
this
is
not
the
case.
8220I
wonder
whether
they
say
crime
her
ei
sd
ecr
easing
simply
because
they
ar
en
ot
noting
down
the
crimes
in
the
first
place.8221
The
couple
wer
ea
mong
50
re
sidents
who
attended
an
anti-
social
behaviour
meeting
in
Chesterton
two
weeks
ago
8211
aimed
to
cut
crime
and
vandal-
ism
in
the
ar
ea.
They
say
many
re
sidents
asked
if
CCTV
cameras
could
be
put
up
ar
ound
the
ar
ea,
but
police
say
they
ar
et
oo
expensive.
Imitation
cameras
wer
ea
lso
suggested
to
put-of
fc
riminals,
but
these
wer
ea
lso
snubbed.
Mrs
Mitchley
said:
8220The
huge
turn
out
at
the
meeting
followed
the
rampage
we
had
af
ew
week-
ends
ago
and
re
ally
shows
that
people
ar
ec
oncerned.
The
evening
befor
eo
ur
car
was
fiddled
with
some
youths
wer
e
jumping
on
top
of
the
ro
of
at
Echo
House,
just
ar
ound
the
corner
fr
om
us.
8220As
usual
the
police
wer
e
called
but
nobody
came
out
8211
hence
you
have
incidents
like
this
that
follow
.8221
The
couple
ar
en
ow
making
a
day-to-day
diary
of
events
in
the
str
eet
to
show
to
police
and
councillors.
Ap
olice
spokeswoman
said:
8220Ther
es
eems
to
be
some
con-
fusion
her
e.
When
someone
rings
us
they
automatically
get
an
incident
number
and
then

number

Ia
