About The Council
Cam Parish Council covers two wards within the Parish Boundary, Cam West and Cam East, and consists of 16 elected and/or co-opted Councillors. All Councillors are voluntary. We always welcome applications to become a Councillor.
Councillors meet regularly to set priorities for spending, discuss local issues (including planning applications) and progress projects. Meetings are structured through Committees and working parties.
In recent years the parish council has received more than £175k of CIL money in relation to the new housing developments in Cam. CIL receipts for developments are expected for the next few years, but the exact amounts are not known until calculated by the district council.
The parish council may determine how its CIL receipts are spent; however, any expenditure must meet the following criteria as set out by CIL regulations:
• The provision, improvement, replacement, operation, or maintenance of infrastructure; or
• anything else that is concerned with addressing the demands that development places on an area.
