A happy and peaceful Eid to all celebrating across Cambridgeshire.

Cambridgeshire County Council has to spend more each year on statutory duties & services like social care, education, SEND and Home to School Transport. This equalled 75% of the 25/26 council budget. That means all other areas including roads, waste & libraries have to be funded from the remainder.

Four options for councils in Cambs and Peterborough on the table People in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough can give their views on the unitary authority suggestions.

Thank you to my brilliant team at Cambridgeshire County Council for all their hard work in 2025.

Special thanks to all those working or on call over Christmas, enabling other colleagues to take time off 🙌🏻

It’s been a busy day for Cambridgeshire County Council as we published our finalised proposal for Local Government Reorganisation, “Two Councils, One Fairer Future” prior to submission to Government tomorrow.

I’m exceptionally grateful to my team for their work to get us to this important point.

Councils face financial collapse due to four broken systems: children’s social care, SEND, temporary accommodati...

This is well worth a read, for all those debating, discussing or working on LGR….

Earlier today, a majority of Cambridgeshire County Council elected members approved a decision to take forward a proposal for Local Government Reorganisation which would see the 7 current authorities replaced by 2 unitary councils, one for the “North” and one for the “South” see more 👇🏻

Having to post this message was not something Cambridgeshire County Council should have had to do. However, when our staff are contractors are threatened, intimidated and, in some cases physically attacked, we have no choice.

This is not acceptable. Not now, not ever.

Back to work on Monday after 2 weeks off….approaching the laptop like this!

Deeply saddened to read this. An inspiration to a young biologist in school and university and someone whom I continued to admire as an adult. So very pleased to have heard Jane speak in person and to have met her at the Edinburgh International Science Festival #RIP

And relax! ☀️

You’ll find more comprehensive views will be shared about CCC as part of the 3rd annual quality of life survey we’ve undertaken with a sample of size of more than 5,500 residents.

And the issue of “blacklisting” will undoubtedly draw views from trade unions and other representative bodies. They will also be subject to testing at Tribunal and in the Courts, I imagine.

Having been involved in these discussions with the PSA years ago, it’s good to see some progress. However, professional regulation requirements require standards which are applicable to all. That’s a challenge when there are multiple professional bodies involved.
