East Chesterton
East Chesterton has grown out of the old village that it once was, with two primary schools (The Shirley School and Chesterton Primary) to house its growing population as well as a new train station. As Cambridge grows, East Chesterton is set to grow further and we need to ensure development works for all residents, old and new.
East Chesterton is represented by City Councillor Bob Illingworth and County Councillor Ian Manning (Chesterton Division).
