As of today (Tuesday 19 November 2024) the political make-up of East Cambridgeshire District Council has changed.

It follows the formation of a new political group to be known as the Liberal Democrat and Independent Group.

The formation of the new group means the political make-up of the council has changed as follows:

Conservative Group: 14 members
Liberal Democrat and Independent Group: 14 members

What this means for the council

By law, councillor representation on committees must proportionately represent the political make-up of the council. Where there is equality of votes at council or committees, the casting vote is made by the chair.

The implication of these changes will be considered at an Extraordinary Council Meeting. We will provide an update once the date of this meeting has been confirmed.
