Re-elect Mike Pitt on May 5!

I am very pleased to report that Mike Pitt will be standing again in the Cambridge City Council elections on May 5!

Mike has served local residents in King's Hedges as a councillor for the last four years before which he was a local activist. During his time on the Council he has worked hard for the ward. Some of the many projects he has been involved in include;

• The refurbishment of the forecourt in front of Campkin Road shops, 
• The campaign to save Milton Road trees (pictured), 
• Getting new dog waste bins installed, 
• Improving the path from Ramsden Square to Campkin Road, and
• Installing safety bollard on Northfield Avenue.  

This is alongside smaller, local work such as getting street lights repaired and potholes fixed.  He has also ensured that the City Council works more effectively with the Cambridge Regional College to tackle problems with litter in the area (particularly Campkin road forecourts).

He is also involved in our local community.  He serves as governor of King's Hedges School on Northfield Avenue, and is a trustee of the Arbury Community Centre on Campkin Road. Both of these are central to King's Hedges.  He is also a Friend of Arbury Library (pictured with Local Councillor Claire Blair and Cambridge MP Julian Huppert).

On the City Council he has served two years as the Executive Councillor for Environmental and Waste Services: responsible for bin collections, and street cleaning.  He led the roll out of the new blue bin collections that has seen our dry recycling rate shoot up by making recycling easier for residents.  This service will be further enhanced after the elections when the City Council will begin accepting batteries for recycling as part of the collections for the first time.

Mike has also recently steered through the introduction of apprenticeships and has, despite the financial strains on local government, managed to create extra posts in both the Ranger service and the enforcement team to tackle litter and flytip.
