Labour Working for Cambridge

We are delighted to welcome the Labour Party into government, working hard to deliver its manifesto commitments, repair the damage done by fourteen years of Tory and LibDem government, and restore our sense of national purpose and direction.

Cambridge’s local MP, Daniel Zeichner has been appointed Minister of State for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Joining Daniel in the Commons, our former MEP Alex Meyer is the new Labour MP for Dunstable and Leighton Buzzard, and City Councillor Sam Carling is the new Labour MP for North West Cambridgeshire.

Labour continues to have a passionate and driven Mayor of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, Dr Nik Johnson, and the Labour group is in shared administration at the County Council with significant influence. Central to our work in the City are our City Councillors, who represent residents, workers, students and visitors in the Cambridge and work to deliver our manifesto commitments. The City Council is led by Cllr Mike Davey alongside eight executive councillors who make decisions relating to the major areas covered by the local authority, including planning, housebuilding and open spaces.

These are days of genuine hope and potential, and everyone in Cambridge Labour is working hard to deliver a better future for our residents. Led by our vision of One Cambridge, Fair for All, Cambridge Labour has six key pledges which underpin our vision for our wonderful city.

Labour is working hard to deliver a city where:

• Residents enjoy a high quality of life and exemplar public services
• Decarbonisation and sustainability are central to prosperity
• Innovation benefits people and planet
• Development is sustainable and inclusive
• Arts, sports, and culture are thriving
• Democratic accountability is genuine and accessible
