  • 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).

  • Cheveley Parish Biodiversity Audit 2015/16
    Cheveley Parish Biodiversity Audit 2015/16 The Parish Boundary (blue line) October 2016 Cheveley Parish Biodiversity Audit Report produced by Cheveley Parish Biodiversity Group1 at the invitation of Cheveley Parish Council. Introduction In summer 2014 the writer received an invitation from Cheveley Parish Council to undertake a Biodiversity Audit to help fulfil the obligation, required of all councils, to include environmental issues in their decision making. A proposal paper was put to The Council suggesting how the task might be undertaken. The proposal recommended the formation of a local group of volunteers (Cheveley Parish Biodiversity Group) to work with Cambridge and Peterborough Environmental Records Centre (CPERC), an organisation with the responsibility of managing and storing local biodiversity information in conjunction with a wide network of wildlife recorders. The local group was formed, and met a few times to plan the work and has led the audit. The group, which has expanded, are wildlife enthusiasts each with professional or personal knowledge of aspects of ecology, environment, habitats, or particular flora or fauna. They have been supported by staff at Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Environmental Records Centre (CPERC) and specialist wildlife recorders who share information with CPERC and various nature conservation organisations. CPERC have digital mapping and database capabilities which have been made available throughout the audit process. A range of pre-existing tree and wildlife records related to Cheveley Parish have been made available and a major achievement has been the generation of many new records which have boosted CPERC’s database for Cheveley Parish. So the beneficiaries of the work are not only The Parish Council but also wider society through the greater amount of local wildlife information held by CPERC.
