West Cambourne development area and the college are currently in Caxton Parish and Caxton don't want this development in their Parish and want this area transferred to Cambourne. This makes sense.
Where is the problem? None in the sense of this could happen but not within the timetable for the Electoral Review.
Therefore West Cambourne will not be within the proposed District Ward of Cambourne and would be in proposed the Papworth 2 member ward. With few electors in the area to be transferred this will cause a delay until enough electors are living in this area. Probably not until they developers have sold a quite a few houses.
When West Cambourne is transferred this area, being in a different District ward and County Division, would mean the creation of new Parish Ward of West Cambourne. I feel this would be unfair on the rest of Cambourne.
The right way forward is to ward the rest of Cambourne Parish into 3 Parish wards with a number of parish councillors elected in each. With clear boundaries between Lower, Great and Upper Cambourne each area could have its own representatives on Cambourne Parish Council.
