  • Histon & Impington MP promoted to run the ‘Ministry of Fun’

    Histon & Impington MP promoted to run the ‘Ministry of Fun’

    Lucy Frazer, MP for the South East Cambridgeshire constituency that includes Histon & Impington, has joined The Cabinet for the first time. She succeeds Michelle Donelan as Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and will be the 8th holder of this post in the last 5 years.

    In her new role, she will have responsibility for strategy and policy in a slimmed-down Department that has been renamed the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Affectionately known as the ‘Ministry of Fun’, its portfolio will now include the arts, the BBC, sport and tourism. The digital role that was previously part of its brief has been moved into a new ministry focusing on science and technology.

    A Newnham College graduate and former President of the Cambridge Union, Lucy Frazer was first elected as an MP at the 2015 general election, following the retirement of Jim Paice as the village’s representative in parliament. She has held less senior Government posts since 2018, when she became Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Ministry of Justice.

  • Plans for a new cross-country walking route to Cottenham

    Plans for a new cross-country walking route to Cottenham

    Histon & Impington residents would be able to use a new off-road route linking Histon and Cottenham if proposals for a new Greenway are approved.

    Plans for the new route – which starts in St Ives – include a 3m-wide hard path being built parallel to the Oakington Road from Westwick to Cottenham, plus a 2m-wide grass verge for soft surface users such as horse riders.

    This would mean that pedestrians could use the popular Gun’s Lane footpath to start an off-road walk to Cottenham. The proposed Greenway also links with the Cambridge-St Ives Busway at Westwick.

    This is one of 12 proposed Greenways, which aim to make local walking, cycling and horse riding journeys safer and easier – connecting villages along the route to each other and Cambridge.

    A consultation on the plans has been launched by Greater Cambridge Partnership, with an online survey that will remain open until midday on Friday 31st March.
