Elections 2022: Full list of South Cambridgeshire District Council candidates

Residents in South Cambridgeshire will head to the polls next month to vote in district council elections.

All seats on South Cambridgeshire District Council will be up for grabs on May 5 along with all the parish and town councils under it except for Longstanton and Willingham.

The last full council election in South Cambridgeshire was held in 2018 when the Liberal Democrats gained control from the Conservative group.

The result left the Lib Dems with 30 seats, the Conservatives with 11, Labour with two and two independents.

The current composition of the council is 30 Lib Dems, 11 Conservative, two Labour, one independent and one vacancy following the resignation of Liberal Democrat Cllr Fiona Whelan in the Harston and Comberton ward.

Among those not seeking re-election is deputy leader Cllr Neil Gough, who is also the current deputy chair of the Greater Cambridge Partnership.

The district council is responsible for council housing, planning, the environment, cultural activities, parking, bin collection and business support.

Anyone who is not currently registered will need to do so before the deadline next week on April 14, at 11.59pm, or they will not be able to vote on May 5
