Labour Working for Cambridge

We are delighted to have the Labour Party in government, working hard to deliver its manifesto commitments, repair the damage done by fourteen years of Tory and Lib Dem government, and restore our sense of national purpose and direction.

Cambridge’s local MP, Daniel Zeichner is working hard all-year round for Cambridge residents.

Cambridge Labour is here to work with and for you, to listen to you, and to create a fairer city for everyone who lives, works, studies and spends time here, and for our natural environment. We are honoured to have been granted stewardship of Cambridge and we’re proud of our record: since Labour took on the leadership of Cambridge City Council, we have built over 700 new, energy-efficient council homes – more than almost any other council in the country –; planted over 4000 new trees, created new nature reserves, worked to protect and restore our precious chalk streams, and halved our carbon emissions; we’ve provided extensive support for our residents and communities, including over £1m each year in community grants; invested in parks, play areas, splash pads, swimming pools, sports facilities and community centres; provided a wide range of free events and activities, open to all; and so much more, all while responsibly managing the Council’s finances.

In the coming years, we will:

1. Build a new generation of council homes and community facilities
2. Tackle inequality and help people in greatest need
3. Lead Cambridge’s response to the climate change and biodiversity
emergencies
4. Support and empower Cambridge’s communities
