Join us at Gonville and Caius College, Trinity Street, Cambridge, CB2 1AT as we host Bernard Jenkin, former Shadow Secretary Of State for Defence, for the Regions and Member of Parliament for Harwich and North Essex.
On 25 September we held the first of our new series of Political Meetings. Lord Balfe of Dulwich, our President, addressed a well-attended meeting at the Gonville Hotel.
Cambridge residents are often invited to take part in endless consultations, but response rates remain low. This has led to a skewed sample size which does not really reflect the wishes of the majority.
Crime and anti-social behaviour is a growing concern across Cambridge. There have been increased reports from residents of anti-social behaviour, particularly along our high streets.
Conservatives have always believed in the value of hard work and aspiration, especially when helping families and small businesses to get ahead. This means local councils have a solemn duty to ease the burden on taxpayers and ensure their money is spent wisely.
Helping motorists does not mean that we do not recognise the urgent need for efficient and sustainable public transport within Cambridge. Current routes that service areas outside the city centre such as Cherry Hinton often suffer from cancelled services and delays.
Cambridge is home to world-class universities and a vibrant start-up ecosystem. Life sciences, artificial intelligence, robotics, and computing all fuel business growth and technological innovation. Building on a long and proud history, Cambridge is Europe's science capital.
With every passing day debates on the Congestion Charge, and the recent applying closure of the Mill Road bridge, highlight the obviously political nature of these issues. Yesterday, all 8 Lib Dem and Labour councillors voted to close the bridge while all 7 Conservatives voted to keep it open.
