:04:42. > :04:46.is a problem that affects cities is a problem that affects cities
:04:47. > :04:49.across the country. In Cambridge it is particularly acute. The ageing
:04:50. > :04:53.road layouts means something as simple as getting to the work can
:04:54. > :04:58.become a daily nightmare. Earlier this month, protests were sparked by
:04:59. > :05:05.one aspect of the scheme, an idea to shut the city 's six main busiest
:05:06. > :05:08.roads during the rush hour. The leader of the City Council defended
:05:09. > :05:15.the plan, saying public transport would benefit. We need to reverse
:05:16. > :05:19.the problem is that he has. But usage is falling because sometimes
:05:20. > :05:22.people can get stuck in a bus for up to one hour so that is not visible
:05:23. > :05:29.problem but it does mean striking a balance between both users, vans
:05:30. > :05:35.moving around the city and cars. Does this mean the plans have been
:05:36. > :05:40.totally abandoned? Now, a public consultation into the scheme has
:05:41. > :05:45.just concluded and options including taxing commuter parking spaces and
:05:46. > :05:48.building in more investment for the bus and bicycle networks are still
:05:49. > :05:54.being considered. The City Council has always said doing nothing is not
:05:55. > :05:55.an option. What is accessible solution to cutting congestion looks
:05:56. > :06:01.like remains to be seen. Around 300 patients had their
:06:02. > :06:04.hospital appointments cancelled today because of a problem
:06:05. > :06:06.with the computer system. Peterborough City Hospital declared
:06:07. > :06:08.a critical incident this morning as doctors
:06:09. > :06:12.couldn't access patient records. The problem has now
:06:13. > :06:14.been resolved but they are looking at what actions
:06:15. > :06:17.to take over any future technical We've got all our patients
:06:18. > :06:23.cared for on the wards and we have clearly printed off
