Ely and East Cambridgeshire is a constituency of the House of Commons in the UK Parliament.[2] It has been represented since its creation in 2024 by Charlotte Cane of the Liberal Democrats.
Boundaries
[edit]The constituency was created by the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and was first contested at the 2024 general election. It is composed of the following:
- The District of East Cambridgeshire
- The District of South Cambridgeshire wards of Cottenham, and Milton & Waterbeach.[3]
The bulk of the electorate, including the city of Ely and the town of Soham, was derived from about two-thirds of the abolished constituency of South East Cambridgeshire, with the addition of areas from North East Cambridgeshire (Littleport, Sutton-in-the-Isle and Downham Villages) and South Cambridgeshire (Cottenham).
