#OptionBforMe is a community campaign gathering momentum across East Cambridgeshire.

#OptionBforMe is all about protecting what we love and value in East Cambridgeshire, now and for future generations, and refers to the preferred option for Local Government Reorganisation being promoted by some district councils across Cambridgeshire.

The campaign recognises that for many people, the most logical thing would be to align East Cambridgeshire with Greater Cambridge. It's only natural when Cambridge has the prestige, the power, the technology and the affluence. But peel away a few layers and it soon becomes clear this is not the best for the people of East Cambridgeshire at all.

Aligning with Greater Cambridge will lead to East Cambridgeshire paying the highest levels of Council Tax, accommodating thousands more houses, losing both its local voice and, most likely, easy access to services.

Option B gives residents, business and stakeholders the very best of both worlds. Housing is controlled, services remain local, the rural voice is heard - and we still have Cambridge and all the benefits that brings on our doorstep.
