Elections to go ahead on 1 May 2025
As polling cards start arriving for the upcoming local elections, residents are being invited to cast their vote for two key positions.
Histon & Impington will be electing their representative on Cambridgeshire County Council and also voting for the person to take over as Mayor of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
Earlier this year, the County Council confirmed the elections on 1 May would still be going ahead despite the biggest restructure of local government in a generation being underway.
Advert
Histon Baptist Church is once again the venue for the polling station in the village. At the time, Dr Stephen Moir, the County Returning Officer and Chief Executive of Cambridgeshire County Council, said: “I would encourage everyone who is registered to vote to take part in the forthcoming County Council elections….”
The Mayoral position at the Combined Authority and H&I seat at Cambridgeshire County Council both have five candidates in the running, representing the Conservative, Green, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Reform UK parties. HI HUB will be publishing their profiles in its 10 April edition.
County Councillor role
Cambridgeshire County Council says it has a budget of around £1,164 million to run public services that include roads and footpaths, libraries, recycling centres, schools and adult and children social care. The councillor elected for Histon & Impington will represent the views and concerns of residents in the village on areas specifically related to these Council services. Ros Hathorn (Lib Dem) has held that position during the last term.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority
The current Mayor, Dr Nik Johnson (Labour), has already announced he will not be running for a second term. The Combined Authority’s key responsibility is “delivering economic prosperity across the region”, particularly in the areas of housing, travel, employment skills and environmental improvements.
It is also the legal body that allows Cambridgeshire and Peterborough councils to cooperate with each other on large-scale strategic projects. And with Local Government Reorganisation underway, it will potentially receive more responsibilities in the future.
Key information
H&I residents with suitable ID will be able to cast their vote in person at Histon Baptist Church on 1 May 2025.
Residents have until midnight on 11 April to register to vote and postal vote applications can be submitted by 5pm on 14 April. It will be possible to apply for a proxy vote or free voter ID by 5pm on 23 April. Further details are available on the South Cambridgeshire District Council website.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for the choir to explore these great English composers through these two beautiful and poignant pieces of music. We look forward to performing these lovely pieces – come and join us.
