At last! Gordon Brown has called the General Election and as anticipated, it is to be on Thursday 6th May, the same date as the local council elections. So most Queen Edith’s residents will have two votes — one for a Member of Parliament for South Cambridgeshire (as that is the constituency to which Queen Edith’s is consigned) and one for a new city councillor, to replace  Baker, who is standing down.

Make sure you are on the electoral registerfor both elections — either check the register at the library, the Guildhall, or ask me or another councillor, as we have copies. If you are not already on, you have until Tuesday 20 April to register. You can do it online  on the City Council’s website. http://www.cambridge.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/about-the-council/elections/.

 If you are away on 6th May, you can register for a postal vote — download a form from https://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/register_to_vote/postal_vote_application.aspx?HasJavascriptEnabled=true or request one from the Guildhall by phoning 457000.
