James Palmer: We need a Minister for East West Rail

We must drive this project forward. It is a vital piece of infrastructure which could allow a million new homes to be built. But we need to sort out the route.

Tom Hunt: Ipswich needs a northern relief road – here is how we can win the campaign

My experience in Ely has shown me that it can be done – with tenacity, optimism and the broadest possible local backing.

Jason Ablewhite: In Cambridgeshire, more police are serving on the frontline

My plan not only involves bringing offenders to justice but also deterring them from reoffending.

James Palmer: Cambridgeshire is well placed to benefit from the broader international trade that Brexit will offer

Metro Mayors can play a crucial role – but a Government cave-in on leaving the customs union risks missing the potential of the global economy.

John Bald: How South Cambridgeshire was lost

The key issue was planning, and our fate was sealed before the first leaflet was delivered. Developers would steamroller the council to get unwanted schemes approved.

James Palmer: Solving the housing crisis needs proper infrastructure – Network Rail is holding us back

This wasteful bureaucratic behemoth is delaying the new stations we need. Conservatives should champion a radical approach with more competition.

Judy Terry: How the Conservatives can win in the “Eastern Region”

A recent Conservative conference for the area found eagerness to discuss radical policies and to embrace innovative campaigning techniques. An encouraging sign for the local elections.

Charles Roberts: Breaking the displacement cycle

When people cannot afford to live in the place where they work they spend more and more of their own time and money commuting on congested trains and roads. We need to broaden the Community Land Trust model to include market housing.

James Palmer: We need a new train station for South Cambridge

The cumbersome rules used by Network Rail cause years of unnecessary delay.

James Palmer: The Land Value Cap offers the chance of more affordable infrastructure

Capping the value of land adjacent to a new motorway, and recouping a charge from those who develop it, would help fund essential new roads.

Andrew Kennedy: County or city-wide Association groupings with experienced agents in charge. My plan to salvage the voluntary party.

The Party has collectively failed to modernise its campaigning, with the result that we saw on June 8. This needs radical reform if it is not to collapse completely.

Next week’s council elections: The Conservative / UKIP battlegrounds

Last time UKIP denied the Conservatives outright victories in Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, East Sussex. Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.

John Bald: Why I am standing for Cambridgeshire County Council

We want development – but we do not want our village wrecked.

The coming local elections. Watch for a satisfied May, a beleaguered Corbyn…and a smug Farron

They take place three months from tomorrow – as will Birmingham’s mayoral election and that Surrey council tax referendum.

Jason Ablewhite: Fighting crime in Cambridgeshire

I have met with colleagues from neighbouring forces to discuss collaborative working.
