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.

  • East Cambridgeshire Objectively Assessed Housing Need October 2016
    East Cambridgeshire Objectively Assessed Housing Need October 2016 Establishing future need for housing A report by Cambridgeshire County Council Research Group to support East Cambridgeshire District Council in objectively assessing and evidencing development needs for housing, both market and affordable. Executive Summary 1. “The primary purpose of identifying need is to identify the future quantity of housing needed, including a breakdown by type, tenure and size.” Source: Planning Practice Guidance Reference ID: 2a-002-20140306 2. The purpose of this report is to identify the future quantity of housing needed, from 2014 to 2036. 3. The overall housing figure that has been identified is 12,900 dwellings (586 dwellings per annum). 4. This housing figure results from applying an upward adjustment to the starting point estimate of overall housing need over the 2014 to 2036 period, to bring the population and households in 2036 to the levels suggested by the official 2012-based projections. 5. The purpose of this report is also to consider the total need for affordable housing in the context of the overall housing figure. 6. The total need for affordable housing that has been calculated is 2,854 houses for 2014-2036. 7. Table 1 provides a summary of the identified change in population, jobs and dwellings numbers for the period 2014 to 2036. Table 1: Identified population, jobs and dwellings change from 2014 to 2036 for East Cambridgeshire District Population Jobs Dwellings Ratio of new jobs to new dwellings East Cambridgeshire 24,400 6,900 12,900 0.5 8. The overall housing figure that has been identified is 4% higher than the CLG 2012 estimate of 12,440 dwellings (12,050 households) and 33% higher than the CLG 2014 estimate of 9,730 dwellings (9,420 households).

  • Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent
    APPENDIX 2 Energy Company Obligation: Help to Heat Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Statement of Intent On behalf of Action on Energy Cambridgeshire including: Cambridge City Council, East Cambridgeshire District Council, Fenland District Council, Huntingdonshire District Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council. Date of publication: **TBC** Version: 1.4 URL: [insert webpage SOI has been published on] 1) Introduction 1.1. Fuel poverty in England is measured using the Low Income High Costs (LIHC) indicator, which considers a household to be fuel poor if: they have required fuel costs that are above average (the national median level); and were they to spend that amount, they would be left with a residual income below the official poverty line.1 1.2. Nationally the 2015 figures for England estimate that 2.5 million households suffer from fuel poverty, 11% the total.2 Living in a cold home doubles the risk of respiratory problems in children; increases the risk of minor illnesses; exacerbates existing conditions such as arthritis and is associated with 3 times the level of excess winter deaths as the warmest homes.3 1.3. Action on Energy Cambridgeshire is a collective of the city and district councils that work together for mutual benefit in addressing fuel poverty. We welcome the introduction of Flexible Eligibility as part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) as it will allow us to support additional vulnerable households under broader criteria. 1.4. Fuel Poverty is a serious concern in our county and affects over 19,000 households4 contributing to more than 800 Excess Winter Deaths on average each year.5 Although our collective actions helped reduce fuel poverty across the county by an estimated 1468 households from 2013-2015 however there is still more to be done.

I sought out unusual items relating to villages and areas of Cambridge not usually featured These stories are from issues of the Cambridge Daily/Evening/Weekly News of 1897-1990 I can supply actual copies of many of these articles – please contact me. The full set of articles, numbering over 3,000 pages is available at bit.ly/CambsCollection The newspapers are held in the Cambridgeshire Collection together with other Cambridge titles back to 1762. They have a variety of indexes including a record of stories for every village in Cambridgeshire between 1770-1900 and newspaper cuttings files on 750 topics from 1958 to date. I initiated much of the indexing and have many indexes of my own. Please feel free to contact me for advice and assistance. For more details of newspapers and other sources for Cambridgeshire history see my website www.mikepetty.org.uk This index was produced as a part of my personal research resources and would benefit by editing. If you can make any of it work for you I am delighted. But remember you should always check everything! Please make what use of it you may. Please remember who it came from Mike Petty.

  • Witches and Witchcraft in Ely
    Witches and Witchcraft in Ely A HISTORY Francis Young Printed for the author by Cambridge Print Solutions Cambridge, 2013 Published by Francis Young © Francis Young 2013 Francis Young has asserted his moral right under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988, to be identified as the author of this work. francisyoung.wordpress.com ISBN 978-0-9926404-0-8 Table of Contents Introduction 1 1. Hereward and the Witch 3 2. A Necromancer in the Lady Chapel 5 3. Witchcraft and the Reformation 9 4. Witchfinders in Ely 11 5. Witchcraft in Ely in Modern Times 15 Notes 20 Introduction The Cambridgeshire Fens are one of the last places in England where traditional belief in witchcraft was widespread. Until as late as the mid-twentieth century, Fenland communities were isolated, and their inhabitants were more vulnerable to environmental illnesses, such as malaria, than the rest of the population. A hard life, geographical isolation, close-knit communities and mistrust of outsiders may all have contributed to the Fenlanders’ abiding belief in the power of witchcraft. Ely’s place in the history of English witchcraft is a special one. As the cathedral city at the heart of the Fens, under the independent jurisdiction of the Bishop, Ely was the place where anyone locally accused of witchcraft would be brought to trial. The city was the hub from which John Stearne completed the last stage of Matthew Hopkins’s infamous witch-hunt in the 1640s, and Ely was the scene for the (quite literal) downfall of the first ‘witch’ to appear in English history.

The Eastern region was allocated 57 constituencies under the initial and revised proposals, a reduction of one from the existing allocation. In formulating the initial and revised proposals the Commission decided to construct constituencies using the following sub-regions: Table 1A - Constituency allocation Sub-region Existing allocation Allocation under initial Allocation under revised proposals proposals Bedfordshire 6 6 6 Cambridgeshire, 27 27 27 Hertfordshire and Norfolk Essex 18 17 17 Suffolk 7 7 7 2. Under the initial proposals six of the existing 58 constituencies were completely unchanged. The revised proposals continued to retain six of the existing constituencies unchanged. Under both sets of proposals it was proposed to have two constituencies that crossed county boundaries - one between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk, and one between Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. In Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Essex it was possible to allocate a whole number of constituencies to each county. 1 3. In response to the consultation on the initial proposals and secondary consultation the Commission received over 2,000 representations regarding the Eastern region. These representations commented on most parts of the region, with the main issues being: ● The proposed constituency of North East Hertfordshire.
