Following last year's boundary changes, the new 2 Councillor Ward of Littlebury, Chesterford and Wenden Lofts has just over 3300 electors and covers the Parishes of:

• Chrishall
• Elmdon
• Great Chesterford
• Littlebury
• Little Chesterford
• Strethall
• Wendens Ambo
• Wenden Lofts

I have to say I was concerned about the size of the new ward and in some respects I was right - certainly from a campaign perspective there is a large area to cover for leaflet delivery (just ask my sore feet.......) and I am only part-done. However, having recently attended PC meetings across the Ward, there is a wealth of information and experience that could be shared across the Parishes and having a District Councillor who is happy to attend all the meetings and who would know what has been done elsewhere and why would be really beneficial to the Ward as a whole. 

I will do my best to get to every house but in the mean time the first leaflet can be seen here.
