It was illuminating to watch the votes being counted when we had preference voting (first and second choice) for mayors and for police & crime commissioners. Votes transfer in ways you wouldn't expect.
Doesn't she like Histon & Impington any more? She was campaigning here as 'a local champion' as recently as the County Council elections last May.
Many Histon, Impington and Orchard Park folk will know about the dangerous Humphries Way Junction on the A10 (not far past the Butt Lane junction).
You can add your voice in calling for urgent safety improvements by signing this petition.

Bizarrely a copy of this was delivered to Histon Towers which isn't in Cambridge Constituency or Cambridge City Council.
But it did give us the opportunity to measure the chart and spot that the Labour bar has been drawn with the same attention to consistent scaling as many a Lib Dem leaflet.
And in Orchard Park the named officer is PC Smits.

Promise made. Promise delivered.
Every neighbourhood now as a named police officer. Here in Histon it is PC Bujar Mani. You can find more info on the Cambridgeshire Constabulary website.

you can stand in any part of the council area that you live in ...but you need a proposer and seconder who are on the electoral roll where you intend to stand. This is more than just leaving out a word on your nomination form.
Labour's Anna Smith surrounded by supporters in the centre of St Ives, Cambridgeshire
Nice trip out for Histon Towers yesterday taking the guided bus to St Ives to support @anna4labour.bsky.social launch her campaign to be the next mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
And all for a £2 single each way thanks to the current Labour mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social
Labour's mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social and deputy mayor @anna4labour.bsky.social pushing on with new bus routes. Delivering on promises.
With full franchising we will get the routes we need at the times we want for a fair fare.

Another Labour manifeso promised delivered: employment rights.
Shame that other parties think differently.
The Lib Dem MP here abstained and the local Lib Dem Council refuses to accredit to the Real Living Wage campaign despite this being an area with a high cost of living.

Peter Kyle MP with Anna Smith and Labour campaigners in Histon.
Lovely to welcome the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, Peter Kyle MP, to Histon today. Campaigning with @anna4labour.bsky.social for mayor of Cambs & P'boro.
Voters telling us that they know Anna is the only one who can beat the Tory here.
Thanks for your support.
Looking right at home there!
Better rights for renters & affordable homes, public transport for the public good, tackle antisocial behaviour and mend the roads.
Pleased to announce that Will Mason is our candidate for the County Council elections on 1 May.

Support for our hard working GP practices is on its way as Labour starts to deliver on our promise to put the NHS back on its feet
#GoodThatLabourDoes
🚍 Great to see Labour’s progress on bus reform across Cambridgeshire & Peterborough – making public transport more affordable and accessible for local people.

Single fare bus ticket
£2 single from Histon to Cambridge thanks to the Labour mayor. Also £1 fares for under 25s and starting soon concessionary free passes apply all day.
#GoodThatLabourDoes
What a difference it will make when we see through Labour's policy of bus franchising. The routes we need, at the times we want and for a fare that's fair.
Then we stop being at the whim of a private operator who can change fares, zones and routes whenever they like.
The government is busy - but the work is not being reported. From banning toxic pesticides to funding green jobs, here are 20 things that happened last week.
Promise made. Promise kept. 🚑
Labour has delivered 2 million extra NHS appointments in just five months - seven months ahead of schedule ✅
When can we have the station clock back? Much missed by us in Histon towers.
Two million extra NHS appointments delivered since our Labour government was elected.
A promise made in the election campaign, a promise delivered five months ahead of schedule.

At today’s Cambs and Peterborough Combined Authority board, we voted by a clear majority to recommend bus franchising to @mayordrnik.bsky.social. We now await the Mayor’s decision.
Our residents, businesses, schools, and colleges want better buses. Franchising helps us achieve that. A historic day.
£1 bus fare for under-25s extended in Cambridgeshire thanks to the Labour led Combined Authority. If you don't already have a Tiger pass and are under 25 then get yours today!

FYI the planning authority for Cambourne is Lib Dem run South Cambs District. Perhaps check with your colleagues what they are doing to "get firm with developers"?
What are your thoughts on plans to build more homes on the high street? www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/local-n...
Bus ticket for £2 single fare
The previous Government’s bus fare cap was due to end last December.
Here in Cambridgeshire the Labour mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social has kept single fares at £2.
That’s one of the differences a Labour mayor makes
#GoodThatLabourDoes
The state of the roads was a popular topic out on the #labourdoorstep this morning. People pleased to hear about the £10m that the #Labour goverment has given #Cambridgeshire to fix potholes like this one in #Waterbeach
£200m is being invested to deliver more police on the streets. 👮🏻♀️👮🏽👮🏿♂️👮🏽♀️
