As we approach the Cambridgeshire County Council elections on May 1st, 2025, one thing is clear: the future of Papworth and Swavesey depends on the choices we make now. Chris Poulton, a passionate and dedicated local campaigner, is standing as the Liberal Democrat candidate to represent our area. Alongside Lorna Dupré, who is running for Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Mayor, they are the team we need to bring real change, fight for fairer funding, and deliver a better future for our community.
A real change for Papworth and Swavesey
For years, our community has been taken for granted by the Conservative Party. They have neglected our roads, underfunded essential services, and failed to invest in the local infrastructure we need. But with Chris Poulton and Lorna Dupré, there is a chance to break free from this pattern of neglect. They are committed to fighting for the things that matter most to us—safer roads, better community facilities, a healthier NHS, and stronger local services.
Chris Poulton is no stranger to the issues that have long plagued Papworth and Swavesey. Having grown up in Cambridge and now living in Caxton, he understands the challenges our communities face because he experiences them too. Chris is not just a politician—he is a local campaigner who has always been there for the people. He has worked tirelessly to address concerns like flooding, road safety, and lack of local services. His commitment to improving the quality of life in our community is unwavering.
Safer roads and better infrastructure
One of the most pressing issues in Papworth and Swavesey is the state of our roads. Years of neglect by the Conservative administration have left our streets unsafe and in disrepair. Chris Poulton is determined to change that. He has committed to securing extra funding to fix our roads, ensuring that everyone—from local families to commuters—can travel safely. Whether it’s potholes on Ermine Street North in Papworth Everard or the general disrepair of many rural roads, Chris is ready to tackle these issues head-on.
Improving local infrastructure isn’t just about roads; it’s also about community facilities. Chris is passionate about ensuring that our public spaces are safe, clean, and accessible to everyone. From parks to recreational areas, he will work tirelessly to create spaces where families can thrive.
A fair deal for our NHS
Our local NHS has been under immense pressure in recent years. With Conservative underfunding and a lack of support, the quality of healthcare in Cambridgeshire has suffered. But Chris Poulton and Lorna Dupré are ready to change that. They are both committed to fighting for fairer funding for our NHS, ensuring that our doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals have the resources they need to provide the best possible care to our community. Whether it’s improving local GP services or supporting the expansion of healthcare facilities, Chris and Lorna are dedicated to ensuring that healthcare is a priority in Papworth and Swavesey.
Fighting climate change and supporting our environment
The fight against climate change is another area where Chris Poulton and Lorna Dupré will make a real difference.

Chris Poulton has already taken steps to address local flooding concerns and will continue to work with experts and community groups to ensure that Papworth and Swavesey are resilient in the face of climate change.
