Quite a comeback for Cambridgeshire Conservatives in today's MRP from Electoral Calculus. They narrowly hold Huntingdon and NE Cambs, and retake Peterborough, NW Cambs and E Cambs. Labour hold Cambridge; the Lib Dems hold St Neots & Mid Cambs comfortably and S Cambs by a mile.
The poll was commissioned by Restore Britain (who are to Reform UK what Reform UK are to the Conservatives) and prompted for Restore, so I've included them in the graph. In some seats they clearly stop Reform beating the Conservatives. electoralcalculus.co.uk/blog…
I hope @CambsPboroCA will reconsider the decision to take their meetings off YouTube. Even if they want to spend thousands of our money on a paid system, please put them on YouTube as well so we can rewind and catch up while the meeting is in progress. cambsnews.co.uk/cambridgeshi…

The Conservators of the River Cam are consulting on plans for large increases in the fees paid by various river users. Rowing clubs, punt operators, and commercial powered vessels could pay three times what they do now. The consultation runs for six weeks. camconservancy.org/_files/ug…

At the @CambridgeRadio studios where I'll be chatting to @julianclover about city councillor Dave Baigent switching allegiance to the Green Party. I'll be on around 8:10.
Does this mean that the planning permission for 425 homes on land north of Cambridge North station will be withdrawn, as the minister relied on the development of the water credits scheme when overruling the council's refusal of the planning application? assets.publishing.service.go…
New: Cambridge Water Credits scheme no longer being “actively progressed”, councillors at @SouthCambs told.
Representatives of the new Greater Cambridge Development Corporation told them the “immediacy of the need for it did not materialise”.
Post coming soon.
Not actually a #carparkswithphil, I’m on the rooftop garden of the Forest building.

This means that just two gains from Labour at May's city council elections would put the Greens level with them on 15 seats. Last year the Greens made six gains from Labour, though the political winds have shifted somewhat since then.
Here's the full news release from @CambridgeGreens cambridge.greenparty.org.uk/…
