Minutes:
With the aid of a report by the Elections and Democratic Services Manager (a copy of which is appended in the Minute Bok) the Review of Parliamentary Constituency Boundaries was presented to the Panel.
Concern was expressed by Councillors Roberts and Sanderson that the proposals would split the District between three parliamentary constituencies. The creation of a new proposed constituency of St Neots caused further concern due to the geographical boundaries of the proposal, specifically the inclusion of the District Ward of Fenstanton and St Neots Wards with specific wards within South Cambridgeshire district. It was felt that Huntingdonshire residents located within these wards of this proposed constituency would have no affinity with the other residents located across the District boundary.
Having commented on the report, the Panel
RESOLVED
that the Cabinet consider the recommendations within the report.
