A carpet shop owner has taken to using a horse and cart to cross Mill Road bridge in Cambridge to get past the bus gate restrictions. John Ball, owner of Cut Price Carpets in Mill Road, said the closure of the bridge to most motor vehicles has been “devastating” for his business. “I got the horse and cart to go over and do deliveries and estimates over the other side of the bridge, because they can’t fine me for taking it over the bridge,” he said.
