What we call Queen Edith’s covers the City Council and County Council areas of that name, but also small parts of the Coleridge and Cherry Hinton City Council wards, and the Trumpington County Council division. So it’s a little complicated to work out which councillor you should be contacting over a particular issue! We hope this guide will help.

1. Which council do I need to contact?

Note: for the GCP “Making Connections” consultation (December 2022), you may wish to contact your city AND county councillors, to get them to pressure their political parties.

Firstly, you need to know whether your issue is one which is under the remit of the City Council or the County Council. Here are the various responsibilities:

Cambridge City Council

This is responsible for services such as:

  • rubbish collection
  • recycling
  • Council Tax collection
  • housing
  • planning applications

Cambridgeshire County Council

This is responsible for services across the whole of the county, such as:

  • education
  • transport (including roads, pavements and parking)
  • fire and public safety
  • social care
  • libraries
  • trading standards

Now you know whether to contact your City Councillor or your County Councillor…

2. Which ward am I in?

Now you need to know which ward you are in.

Key:

  1. Queen Edith’s for City Council and County Council
