Owing to the hot weather for the rest of this week our collection crews will be starting earlier in the morning. Please make sure your waste and recycling is presented at the boundary of your property by 6am on your collection day.
Please note that this joint message is being shared on behalf of the 7 Council Leaders and Chief Executives from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough’s councils.
We have been informed by the Government that the anticipated announcement on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will not be made today (16 July) as previously expected.
We are expecting an announcement from Government shortly on its preferred arrangements for Local Government Reorganisation across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
With two weeks remaining until the Government’s consultation on local government reorganisation in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough closes, residents, businesses and community organisations are being urged to find out more about option B.
Three councils are calling on residents, businesses and stakeholders to find out more about option B and why they think it’s the best choice for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough now that a government consultation has started.
Three councils have set out why their plan to reorganise Cambridgeshire’s seven councils into two new unitary councils – known as option B, which would create one for North Cambridgeshire and Peterborough and another for Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire – is the most beneficial plan for the whole region.
Three Cambridgeshire councils have now backed the creation of a new unitary Council for Greater Cambridge and another for North Cambridgeshire and Peterborough - with local leaders saying they offer financial security, deliver up to £43 million savings a year and respect local identities.
An official decision on which business plan East Cambridgeshire District Council will back for Local Government Reorganisation will be made by councillors on Thursday 20 November.
Council leaders across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have thanked residents, businesses, and community organisations for their vital role in shaping the future of local government in our region.
