  • Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council
    Local Government Boundary Commission - Review of Cambridgeshire County Council East Cambridgeshire - Conservative Party Response from South East Cambridgeshire Conservative Association (SECCA) Summary 1. We believe that single Member Divisions provide for the most effective local government in East Cambridgeshire, giving greater clarity to the electorate and to City, Town and Parish Councils and other local organisations. 2. Our preferred scenario (scenario 1) is based on 63 Members, meaning that 9 will be in East Cambridgeshire. This proposed scenario allows for provision of single Member Divisions, achieves good electoral equality, provides for convenient and effective local government and offers the best solution, by some margin, in terms of reflecting community interests and identity. 2.1. We strongly believe that the Boundary Commission’s proposal for two 2 Member Divisions (within the 61 Member scenario) has made serious compromises to both community interests and identity and to convenient and effective local government, markedly so for the proposed Littleport West Division (Division 16). The geographical size and marked difference in service needs of different parts of this Division could cause conflict in Members’ ability to represent the whole of the Division effectively. 2.2. Sutton, and particularly the villages to the south of Sutton (Wentworth, Witchford, Haddenham, Aldreth, Wilburton, Stretham and Little Thetford) are totally remote from Littleport - geographically (residents of those areas look to Ely and Cambridge and do not use or travel to Littleport), culturally (residents of those areas do not link themselves in any way to Littleport), demographically and in terms of service need (educational, economic and health and wellbeing needs are markedly different).

    Mike Petty – Ely Standard 1914-1919 index Ely Standard Great War articles 1914-1918: an index, compiled by Mike Petty The Ely Standard articles give a detailed account of various aspects of local life during the Great War. It reports letters back from the front, lists casualties, mentions of Zeppelin raids, aircraft, conscientious objectors, German prisoners of war and local military hospitals. The paper also reports the heartbreak of Exemption Tribunal meetings where farmers plea to be allowed to keep workers on the land – these are particularly interesting, mentioning many names, and should be checked This index covers stories relating to the war and its impact on the villages around Ely including Adelaide, Coveney, Downham, Haddenham, Littleport, Manea, Mepal, Oxlode, Prickwillow, Pymore, Soham, Stretham, Stuntney, Thetford, Wentworth, Wicken, Witcham & Witchford. Some Chatteris and March stories are also mentioned. It does not cover many other aspects of ‘normal’ life that the paper reported These notes are not complete and there are inevitably mistakes.

  • Barber's Almanac 1981-82
    Items of Interest from the Years 1977­80 (taken from The Official Guide of 1981/82). Gathered from the Local Newspapers, etc. during the past year. Every care is taken to make the following list correct but no item or date is guarenteed by the publisher. !!! Of interest in this issue is the 'saga' of a market in the village. An independent market was started on a Sunday in April 1977, just outside the village by the river. This proved very popular with the local villagers with over 5000 people turning up for the first one, however the Parish Council were not pleased as an application to hold a market in Littleport had been turned down just two months earlier. The organisers of the Sunday market were taken to court for infringing Sunday trading laws and the Parish Council looked into setting up their own market. After the court case the Sunday market re­opened as a 'shopping club' but it gradually got smaller and smaller until it stopped altogether. The weekly market that came out of this episode is still held every Tuesday in the carpark of the Crown public house. Compiled by the Misses E R Gill and M Davy September 29th, 1977 1. The children of Littleport have at last received their Jubilee Crowns. The Silver Jubilee Queen, Heather Brown, visited the schools to help distribute the coins. 2. David Watson, 28, Woodfen Road, has won the title of top electronics apprentice of the year at Pye's training centre in Cambridge. David built a black and white television camera from scratch.
