    Election of Mayor for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority

    Election of Mayor for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Thursday 6th May 72021 The Candidates - What they say - How to vote Chooseyourmayor.org INTRODUCTION On Thursday 6 May 2021 electors across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will have the opportunity to vote for the person they want to be Mayor for the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority. An elected Mayor is different from a traditional, ceremonial Mayor or a Council Leader. The Mayor is elected by the people, whereas ceremonial Mayors and Council Leaders are elected by fellow Councillors. The Mayor will be responsible for leading the Combined Authority, building investor confidence and directing new resources to economic priorities. He or she will ensure a quicker and more effective response to local issues, ensure more targeted use of funding, and develop new financial mechanisms to encourage new private sector investment. They will be a powerful voice for the Combined Authority, locally, nationally and internationally. This booklet must be sent to you as an individual elector by law. It includes information about the election and has in it an election address from each of the Mayoral candidates who wish to be included. You will also find information on how to fill in your ballot paper, how the result is calculated, together with answers to some frequently asked questions. John Hill Combined Authority Returning Officer THE MAYORAL CANDIDATES Nik Johnson Labour and Co-Operative Party James Philip Palmer The Conservative Party Candidate Aidan Thomas Van de Weyer Liberal Democrats The order in which the addresses of candidates appear in the booklet has been determined by the drawing of lots by the Combined Authority Returning Officer.

    ABOUT LONGSTOWE Longstowe Is a Civil Parish of Some 86 Homes And

    ABOUT LONGSTOWE Longstowe is a civil parish of some 86 homes and almost 200 residents. Situated to the west of the A1198 and along the B1046 towards the Gransdens. Some 10 miles west of Cambridge City, it is bordered by Huntingdon in the north and Royston to the south and neighbours Bourn, Caxton, Arrington and the Gransdens. Longstowe gave its name to the Hundred of Stowe and its very name means ‘Village in the deeps’. In Domesday it had but 17 persons (1086). It was mainly woods, heath and scrub land. Most of this had been cut down by the 1300’s. Longstowe had to maintain two foot soldiers for the 100years war in the eleventh century. The parish has an area of 1537 acres and ranges in height from 50 metres above sea level in the east to 79 metres in the South West. The soil is heavy with clay over gault; there was a definite lack of good water. It mostly came from odd ponds and dips situated along the High Street. Farming was concentrated in three ‘open’ fields and remained so until inclosure in 1799. The living was owned by Ramsey Abbey, who also administered the Hospital of St Mary run by nuns and situated by the old Fox Inn crossing (A1198/B1046) still known as Nun’s Close. Its square moat can just be made out today. The Church was originally thatched and the Tower built of Carrstone (local to the area). Over the centuries the church fell into disrepair – once it caught fire but was always replaced.

East West Rail - Making Meaningful Connections Non-Statutory Consultation I am writing on behalf of Huntingdonshire District Council (HDC) in relation to the above non- statutory consultation on the East West Rail (EWR) project. Thank you for confirming in the email dated 15th April 2021 to Mrs. Burton that HDC’s comments would be accepted after the end of the consultation period in order to enable the responses to be considered by our Cabinet. The Council’s response is attached as appendix 1 to this letter. You will see from the information that the Council is of the view that a lot of information remains outstanding and we are therefore unable to recommend a route, and instead focus on key principles. The Council would welcome close collaboration with East West Rail as the project progresses. Recognising that feedback will inform next steps we strongly encourage EWR to share the evidence bases that inform route alignments to aid the public understanding of the rationale in the approach. Furthermore, in future consultations it is recommended that information be more transparent, easily accessible and simplified to allow members the public to understand proposals insofar as sections relate to communities. If you have any further queries on any of the comments raised within this response please email [email protected] .
