In Huntingdonshire, local councillors have unanimously voted to review over £1 million in expenditures related to a car park development project. The project, a partnership with developer Capital & Centric, involves housing developments in St Neots, St Ives, and Huntingdon. The review follows public concern regarding the loss of parking spaces and internal political friction within the council.

In related regional developments, new housing projects have been proposed or approved in Hampshire and Huntingdonshire. In Medstead, Hampshire, a planning application was submitted for 62 homes, with 40 per cent designated as affordable housing. Meanwhile, Huntingdonshire District Council approved a plan for six detached chalet-style bungalows in Colne to address the council’s lack of a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites.
