Bizarrely a copy of this was delivered to Histon Towers which isn't in Cambridge Constituency or Cambridge City Council.
But it did give us the opportunity to measure the chart and spot that the Labour bar has been drawn with the same attention to consistent scaling as many a Lib Dem leaflet.

Promise made. Promise delivered.
Every neighbourhood now as a named police officer. Here in Histon it is PC Bujar Mani. You can find more info on the Cambridgeshire Constabulary website.

Have you tried the new Tiger buses?
Extra routes around the county and the next step to bus franchising (aka 'taking back control of our buses').
Here's the Tiger 1 at Histon & Impington stop on its way fast to Huntingdon.

you can stand in any part of the council area that you live in ...but you need a proposer and seconder who are on the electoral roll where you intend to stand. This is more than just leaving out a word on your nomination form.

Nice trip out for Histon Towers yesterday taking the guided bus to St Ives to support @anna4labour.bsky.social launch her campaign to be the next mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.

And all for a £2 single each way thanks to the current Labour mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social

Another Labour manifeso promised delivered: employment rights.
Shame that other parties think differently.
The Lib Dem MP here abstained and the local Lib Dem Council refuses to accredit to the Real Living Wage campaign despite this being an area with a high cost of living.

What a difference it will make when we see through Labour's policy of bus franchising. The routes we need, at the times we want and for a fare that's fair.
Then we stop being at the whim of a private operator who can change fares, zones and routes whenever they like.

Cllr Anna Smith @anna4labour.bsky.social · Feb 6

At today’s Cambs and Peterborough Combined Authority board, we voted by a clear majority to recommend bus franchising to @mayordrnik.bsky.social. We now await the Mayor’s decision.

Our residents, businesses, schools, and colleges want better buses. Franchising helps us achieve that. A historic day.

FYI the planning authority for Cambourne is Lib Dem run South Cambs District. Perhaps check with your colleagues what they are doing to "get firm with developers"?
