South Cambridgeshire and Huntingdon District Councils will be holding their final elections in the relatively short-lived histories as district councils – having been formed in 1974.
Cambridge City Council didn’t publish theirs today, which is unusual.
You can read:
- South Cambridgeshire Elections 2026 – which includes links to their district council candidates for ***all seats***, as well as parish and town council elections happening on the same day.
- Huntingdonshire District Elections 2026 – same as above.
Note with both both of the districts above, there are ***lots*** of people who were elected unopposed to parish and town council seats.
- See South Cambridgeshire candidates elected unopposed to parish and town councils – and count the number of pages
- See Huntingdonshire candidates elected unopposed to parish and town councils – and count the number of pages.
Traditionally people put their party-political differences aside in parish and town councils – it used to be the case with local government many moons ago. The culture being that maintaining bus shelters and village greens are not the sort of topic for party political debate.
