I’m Richard Tomlinson, your Conservative candidate for Cambridgeshire County Council in the St.

Full statement

Neots Priory Park & Little Paxton division. I have lived in Little Paxton since 2022 and currently serve as Vice Chair of the Parish Council, where I’ve worked hard to deliver real improvements for our community.

I’m leading the campaign to find long-term solutions to Mill Lane Bridge, which suffers from flooding and closures, cutting off a vital link between Little Paxton and St Neots. I successfully pushed for a council review of the issue and will continue to fight for long-term solutions, as well as much needed near-term fixes. I also worked to secure funding to introduce a 20mph speed limit in Little Paxton to improve road safety.

Beyond infrastructure, I’m committed to securing better education opportunities for local children, tackling antisocial behaviour, and ensuring sustainable, well-planned development that doesn’t overwhelm our roads, schools, or healthcare services.

Before entering local politics, I worked as a global director at a top law firm before setting up my own business helping organisations improve their processes. I bring this experience to local government - cutting through inefficiency and delivering results.

On 1st May, vote Conservative to get a strong local champion who will stand up for St Neots Priory Park and Little Paxton.
