Cambridgeshire Lib Dem MPs Ian Sollom and Charlotte Cane wrote to Angela Rayner, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, urging her to reconsider plans. This delay comes four months after a public consultation closed in March and amid speculation that the Government was leaning towards 'option D'. Mr Sollom and Ms Cane argue that 'option D' contravenes the Government’s own reorganisation criteria. The MPs argued that Cambridgeshire's strategic role in the Oxford-Cambridge growth corridor means any reorganisation should reflect wider economic geography. They have asked to meet Ms Rayner before any decision is made.
