Dear Neighbours, I am proud to put myself forward to represent our community and to be a strong, new voice for Hemingford Grey, Hemingford Abbots, Fenstanton, Hilton, and Houghton & Wyton.

Full statement

Born in Huntingdon I grew up in St Ives attending Eastfield Primary School, Westfield Junior School, and the Ivo. As a child, I played football for St Ives Rangers and rugby for St Ives. After studying Business at Plymouth Polytechnic, I built a career in marketing, working in London, the Thames Valley, and across Europe before returning to settle in Houghton & Wyton in 2009.

My connection to this area runs deep. My parents and sister’s family still live in St Ives, and I have extended family in Fenstanton, I have a strong love for and commitment to our community.

I have been a Parish Councillor since 2016 and a District Councillor since 2018. I am an active member of our local Timebank, a shareholder in the community shop, and a founding member of the local flood group. These roles have strengthened my understanding of our community’s needs and my resolve to improve it for all residents.

I am asking for your support to bring fresh ideas and determined action to the County Council. I will work to get the basics right—fixing potholes, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy, and ensuring your hard earned tax money delivers value where it matters most.

I will also stand firm against overdevelopment, push for better public transport, and protect vital services like SEND and adult social care. This is my home too, and I am committed to making sure your voice is heard and acted upon.

If you have concerns or ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can build a brighter, stronger future for our community.

Yours David
