  • Proposed Boundary Changes Eaton Ford, St.Neots, Cambs. As
    26th May 2016 Dear Mr. Hinds, Ref: Proposed Boundary Changes Eaton Ford, St.Neots, Cambs. As Chairman of the Eatons Community Association I am writing to object to the proposed boundary change which affects our close knit Eatons Community where a few streets in Eaton Ford (ie. the Milton Avenue Estate, Crosshall Road and Savilles Close) will be moved into the Priory and Little Paxton Division on Cambridgeshire County Council The town of St Neots did not grow up around the river as many towns develop but it grew up on the eastern side of the river in the county of Huntingdonshire and for well over a thousand years the river was the county boundary with Eaton Socon Parish being in Bedfordshire. Eaton Ford and Eaton Socon were within the parish of Eaton Socon and life within our rural parish was separate from the town of St Neots. The heart of Eaton Socon was and still is based around the Great North Road. We have our own Parish Church and our strong thriving Eaton Socon Charities which helps certain members of the community. We still have a strong sense of community with our own shops, schools, Post Office, businesses, restaurants, pubs, vets surgery, opticians, health centre and pharmacy. We also have our own toddler and youth groups, clubs of all kinds, football club, bowling club, cricket club, British Legion and other amenities. As we were part of Bedfordshire some of our groups are still linked with Bedfordshire rather than Cambridgeshire, and our church is linked with St Albans rather than Ely.
