About Huntingdonshire

Huntingdonshire District Council serves as the local authority for the Huntingdonshire district in Cambridgeshire, England, with its headquarters located in Huntingdon. This council oversees the towns of Godmanchester, Ramsey, St Ives, and St Neots, along with the surrounding rural areas. The district largely mirrors the historic county of Huntingdonshire, which was dissolved in 1965, though there are slight variations along the northern boundary with Peterborough. For those researching planning applications in the area, the council plays a key role in local development and regulatory processes. The council was established in 2017. The council is currently led by Sarah Conboy (Liberal Democrat), who has held the position since 18 May 2022. Michelle Sacks serves as Chief Executive since 2023.
