We are not part of government or any political party. We are accountable to Parliament through a committee of MPs chaired by the Speaker of the House of Commons. Our main role is to carry out electoral reviews of local authorities throughout England. Electoral review An electoral review examines and proposes new electoral arrangements for a local authority. A local authority’s electoral arrangements decide: How many councillors are needed How many wards or electoral divisions should there be, where are their boundaries and what should they be called How many councillors should represent each ward or division Why East Cambridgeshire? We are conducting an electoral review of East Cambridgeshire District Council following a request by the Council in order to consider a reduction in council size. Our proposals for East Cambridgeshire East Cambridgeshire District Council currently has 39 councillors. Based on the evidence we received during previous phases of the review, we consider that a council size of 28 members – a reduction of 11 – will ensure that the Council can perform its roles and responsibilities effectively.

    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).

    Emma Day Dissertation Final Draft

    SOKEMEN AND FREEMEN IN LATE ANGLO-SAXON EAST ANGLIA IN COMPARATIVE CONTEXT Emma Day Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge 12th January 2011 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Summary of Dissertation Sokemen and Freemen in Late Anglo-Saxon East Anglia in Comparative Context Emma Day The dissertation is an investigation into sokemen and freemen, a group of higher status peasants, in tenth- and eleventh-century East Anglia (hereafter and throughout the dissertation referred to as less dependent tenants). The study considers four themes. The first concerns the socio-economic condition of less dependent tenants. Previous commentators have focused on, for example, light or non-existent labour services and a connection with royal service and public obligations, but the reality may have been more complex. The second theme considers the distribution of the group across East Anglia. The third and fourth themes consider, respectively, the reliability of the Domesday evidence for less dependent tenants and how far the eastern counties differed from the rest of England. It has been argued that the significant number of less dependent tenants recorded in the eastern counties in Domesday Book indicates that region’s unique social structure. This view increasingly has been questioned. The dissertation uses a partially retrogressive approach, combining pre-Conquest sources with Domesday Book and manorial sources from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It argues that less dependent tenants formed a varied group, including both smallholders (probably constituting the greater part of the group) and prosperous landholders defined by high-status service. These individuals were not always clearly distinguished from those immediately above and below them in the hierarchy.

    South Neighbourhood Panel Update June 2013 East Cambridgeshire District Council – Action Updates: Priority: None set Priority - Objective Action Taken Current Situation Continue or Discharge? Other Issues: No. Issue Action Taken 1 Dog fouling in Ashley. Dog Fouling should be reported to the District Council directly with details of the incident location(s), if any resident can provide information regarding the person allowing the fouling to happen this will help the Enforcement Officer to deal with the matter. 2 Would Westley Waterless like to attend This is not a matter that falls with the District Council’s powers or remit. Nevertheless, the Burrough Green Parish Council question was raised and the following responses provided to date (note a response was meetings? Can ECDC investigate? requested by 31.5.13): Westley Waterless Clerk 14.5.13 –“I am sure there if there were a requirement for us to attend or that we would like to attend then this would be given due consideration”; & Burrough Green Clerk – 14.5.13 “ I will ask the Councillors what they think and get back to you”. Note that there is no requirement to attend each other’s meetings. The Head of Legal & Democratic Services has also, however, asked whether Westley Waterless and Burrough Green would like to be joined as one Parish – as this could potentially be facilitated through a Community Governance review, if this was requested by the Parishes concerned and this change approved following a consultation, by the District Council. No request has been received from either Parish so far for such action.
