A total of 69 county councillors are elected to represent the people of Cambridgeshire for four years at a time.  The last election was held on 2nd May 2013 and the next election will take place in 2017.

Councillor Martin Curtis is the Leader of the Council.

Councillors decide how to spend the council's money and what its policies are, and make decisions on behalf of the people of the county. To find out which County Councillor represents your local area, use our My.Cambridgeshire service.

The services the Council provides are run by professional officers. It is their duty to carry out the policies of the council and provide a high standard of public service at all times.

The Council also works in partnership with other public services in the area, such as the Police and NHS, to provide a unified approach where needed.
