It prefers to keep the status quo for the Hardwick division - at the moment that division serves its constituents well and particularly forms an integral part and serves the needs of the Quarter to Six Quadrant villages and the cooperative work that has gone on among them. Kind regards Patrick De Backer 1 Hinds, Alex From: Egan, Helen Sent: 13 January 2015 16:43 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Electoral Review of Cambridgeshire Hi Alex, Please see submission below for Cambridgeshire. Helen From: Buckden Parish Clerk [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 January 2015 15:04 To: Reviews@ Subject: Electoral Review of Cambridgeshire The Parish Council has considered what it would like to see in the review and that can be simply summed up as: Buckden, Diddington and Southoe should be within the same division. The Parish of Diddington is administered by the Buckden Parish Council. Buckden School hosts pupils from both Diddington and Southoe. Residents of Diddington use the Doctors surgery at Buckden. The 3 Parishes are linked by the bus route between Huntingdon and St Neots and they all are on the A1 and have a common interest in the future of that road.

If this is the case the Town Council would welcome the move as it restores the status quo. Before the last electoral review the town was represented by one County Councillor and this worked well as electors were aware who their County Councillor was, irrespective of where they lived in the town. Residents of the town share the same interests and identities since Chatteris is a relatively small town. With the present arrangement, whereby one councillor represents three quarters of the town and another councillor the other quarter, there is some confusion among electors. In addition the councillor representing Slade Lode electors finds himself representing a largely rural community with the exception of part of Chatteris. This does not provide for effective or convenient local government. For these reasons the Town Council calls upon the Local Government Boundary Commission to establish an electoral arrangement whereby the four wards of Chatteris (Slade Lode, Wenneye, The Mills and Birch) are represented by one County Councillor.’ Yours sincerely Mrs Joanna Melton Town Clerk 1 Hinds, Alex From: Egan, Helen Sent: 15 January 2015 14:41 To: Hinds, Alex Subject: FW: Electoral Review of Cambridgeshire Hi Alex, Please see submission below for Cambridgeshire. Helen -----Original Message----- From: Tracey Coulson Sent: 15 January 2015 14:32 To: Reviews@ Subject: Electoral Review of Cambridgeshire The City of Ely Council has given due consideration to the proposals in the Electoral Review of Cambridgeshire. As part of the current East Cambridgeshire District area the Council has concerns over the geographical area of the latter. East Cambridgeshire District Council covers an elongated area with the two distinct and un-coordinated areas. This causes possible distortion and the views and interests of local communities are often not met. The Commission is requested to give this matter consideration.

The Parish Council, at their meeting last Monday, reviewed the current division boundaries and the changes proposed. They noted that the villages of Doddington, Wimblington and Manea will continue to have one County Councillor and although there will be some minor movement between the existing Forty Foot division and the new FDC 8 division they raised no concerns over these. The Doddington Parish Council therefore fully supports the proposed change as it applies to Doddington. Yours faithfully Roger Wilkin Clerk to Doddington Parish Council Tel: 1 Hinds, Alex From: [email protected] Sent: 07 December 2014 14:40 To: Reviews@ Cc: Hinds, Alex; Subject: Electoral Review - Comments by Earith Parish Council Dear Alex, Further to the Parish Council meeting held on 4th December 2014 the Council discussed the Electoral Review changes and wanted the following comments to be raised. Earith Parish Council do not want to be merged with any other village as we feel that we have several unique qualities that the surrounding villages do not have to contend with. Earith is the most Easterly village within the ward and as such its boundaries are dictated via the surrounding river networks which bring flooding and road closure issues to the village of Earith. The High Street is an A road - The A1123 and this is used as a throughfare when any problems arise from the A14 The whole of the High Street area is within a conservation area and we also have many listed buildings. Many of the houses along the High Street do not have any foundations and as such have special planning needs to be considered. Earith is also part of the Ouse Washes area of outstanding natural beauty and as such this needs to be maintained The Earith Bulwarks also bring with them special considerations that the surrounding villages do not have. The Earith Parish Council all agreed that Earith should remain as it is and should not be merged with any other village. Do you require any further information from the Parish at this time? Is there any official paperwork that needs to be completed? Many Thanks and Best Regards Mandy Pink Earith Parish Clerk [email protected] 1 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Cambridgeshire County Personal Details: Name: Harry Webster E-mail: Organisation Name: Fen Drayton Parish Council Comment text: LGBCE Review – The Parish of Fen Drayton wishes to remain in its current Division of Papworth and Swavesey on the basis that it would like to retain the current representatives from the County and District Council. Responses from the Parish Councillors have concluded, unanimously, that it would be more advantageous to remain in the current division. We see no obvious advantage in being in a different division either to the West or East. The members of the Fen Drayton Parish Council have looked carefully at the LGBCE Review documentation provided and have also taken into account proposals from the Parish Councils of Over and Swavesey. It should be noted that Fen Drayton has not participated in the compilation of these latter documents that propose Swavesey and Fen Drayton move from the current Papworth and Swavesey Division to a new Division. Fen Drayton Parish Council would like to point out that this is not a joint proposal. However, it would not wish to influence in any way Swavesey’s position in this matter but it also sees no advantage in moving with Swavesey to another Division. A further complication is that the District Council Division in which Fen Drayton currently resides does not contain Swavesey but does provide councillors with which the Parish of Fen Drayton has a good relationship and which it is loath to lose. In short, Fen Drayton would like to keep the status quo in both County and District Council Divisions. It is of great worry that moving Divisions in the County might precipitate a similar move in the District Council and we hope this will be avoided. The primary concern is that of losing some or all of the present complement of councillors from the County and District Council who have been very supportive and obviously are well acquainted with the Parish. We agree that rationalisation of the County representation is beneficial from a financial viewpoint but we feel that any proposal for us to move division for purely numerical convenience should not be a cause to disrupt the worthwhile collaborative relationship we have built up with our representatives.

  • Tree-Strategy-Introduction.Pdf
    February 2015 A Tree Strategy for Huntingdonshire Introduction 2 Introduction A TREE STRATEGY FOR HUNTINGDONSHIRE Introduction Foreword by Councillor Douglas Dew Executive Councillor for Strategic Planning & Housing: Huntingdonshire has a varied historic landscape of 350 square miles, with 4 market towns and nearly 100 villages, all within an expanse of attractive, open countryside, farmland, and woodland. Trees play an important role in the rural and urban landscapes of Huntingdonshire, improving the quality of life in many ways. They make a great contribution to our rural and urban areas, adding great beauty and character and creating a sense of place. They enhance and complement the built environment by providing screening, focal points, privacy and perspective. Those in parks and gardens bring nature into the hearts of our towns. Streets planted with trees look better, and they also provide valuable wildlife corridors, connecting open spaces. Trees are the largest and oldest living things in the environment. Trees and woodlands are dominant landscape features, and collectively they form one of Huntingdonshire’s finest features. We need to protect our trees and care for them properly. We also need to make sure we plant new trees to replace those that we have to remove, or which have reached the end of their normal lives, so that future generations can derive the same enjoyment and benefits from trees that we do. This strategy sets out how the Council will do this over the coming years. We aim to have more and better trees than we have at the moment, in an attractive environment which will help make Huntingdonshire a better place in which to live, work, study and spend leisure time.

A beautifully sunny day, temperatures in the low 20s and the first BBQ of the year. Sadly, the chilly winds and 10 degrees drop in temperature the next day soon put paid to ideas of spring being here, let alone summer! Given the number of outdoor events planned in the village over the coming months, we all have to hope that we have more days like the Sunday, and less like the Monday! May is a quiet month this year, which may be just as well given the number of events in the village in June and July! There are many events planned including Film on a Farm, Open Gardens, the Village Festival and Buckfest! Starting on May 16th in the Village Hall, there is an appeal regarding the proposed development at Lucks Lane. I would encourage anyone with an interest in the outcome of this appeal to attend. A quick reminder that our writing competition is still open for entries until the end of May. More details can be found on page 15 of this issue.
