Market

t: 078080 4752
Your priorities are my priorities:-
- Preserve Market Ward’s Green Spaces. A greater share of income from letting Market’s Green Spaces must be re-invested in preserving them for others in years to come.
- Relocate Parker’s Piece Bus Station from the historic centre: The original plan to locate heavy coach traffic in the station road area must be reinstated.
- Promote Safer Cycling, Safer Walking: Better road surfaces for cyclists are needed. “No cycle” pathways for pedestrians must be enforced.
- Secure effective weekend cleaning for Market’s litter and stricter policing of fly tipping.
- Conserve Market’s historic character, skyline and streetscape from insensitive development.
Newnham
Julius Carrington

t: 07808 04752
I believe that listening to the diverse voices across Newnham and across Cambridge is important. Only with the community working together can we help shape the future of our City. We all care about affordable housing, we all care about clean air, we all care about the green belt and we all care about the City’s chronic congestion so to suggest otherwise simply shows a lack of faith in the people of Cambridge.
I have been energised by the number of people from across the whole community attending meetings in Newnham on a range of issues, all wanting to help – we need to harness this not dismiss it!
Petersfield
Catherine Durance

t: 07808 04752
Catherine has lived in Cambridge for 20 years working as a scientist. She actively volunteers for a national mental health charity supporting the emergency services. She has seen Cambridge change greatly over the years and yet the same problems that we all see, continue. Catherine cares very much about the environment on a local, national and international level, and also in the quality of life of the residents of Cambridge.
She believes that our city should be able to thrive and at the same time have minimal impact on our environment. Catherine would like to see an improvement to the road surfaces in Petersfield and reducing pollution from traffic congestion around the station and Mill Road.
She would like to hear from Petersfield residents about any other improvements wanted in their ward.

Trumpington
Sharpour Meftah
e: [email protected]
t: 07808 04752
Sharpour was elected to the City Council in May 2012, defeating the Lib Dem incumbent by a margin of 79 votes.
Shapour has lived in Trumpington for many years and has run the Cantab Millenium store on Mill Road since he founded it in 1992.
He came to England in 1980 from Iran, where his father had served as Minister of Defence under the Shah. In his early years here, he took a variety of jobs to support his studies and his family, including working nights selling kebabs and as a factory worker making parts for the Channel Tunnel. More details of his life story were recorded several years ago by a Cambridge art project.
Priorities for Trumpington:-
A fair deal for Trumpington
Sharpour will campaign for Trumpington to receive the facilities and investment it needs, particularly looking at developers’ contributions.
Improved access
Trumpington is often gridlocked, with greater traffic likely, as development continues. Sharpour will seek to work closely with the County Council to improve the transport infrastructure.
Safer Streets
Sharpour is concerned by the recent increase in violent crime in Trumpington and would vote to set this as a local police priority.
