Candidates vying for Fenland seats on Cambridgeshire County Council announced
All of the candidates standing in Fenland hoping to be elected to Cambridgeshire County Council have now been announced.
Every seat at the county council is up for election on Thursday, May 1.
The county council is responsible for providing a number of services across the county, including highways maintenance, adult and children’s social care, education and running libraries.
Currently the authority is run by a joint administration made up of Liberal Democrat, Labour, and independent councillors.
The Conservatives lost control of the county council at the last full council election in 2021 but initially remained the largest party at the authority.
However, following resignations and by-elections, the Liberal Democrats are currently the largest party with 23 councillors, followed by the Conservatives with 21 councillors.
Labour has 10 councillors and there are two independent councillors, four non-aligned independent councillors, and one St Neots Independent councillor.
People in Fenland will also be asked to vote for a new mayor to head up the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
Five candidates have decided to stand for mayor, and they are Paul Bristow (Conservative), Ryan Coogan (Reform UK), Lorna Dupré (Liberal Democrats), Bob Ensch (Green Party) and Anna Smith (Labour and Co-operative Party).
