Chip Colquhoun

Chip Colquhoun

Green Party candidate for Alconbury

Active on State

Green Party

I’m standing to be your district councillor because I love our area – its community, heritage, and natural beauty – and I’m committed to making it sustainable, safe, and thriving for future generations. That’s why I proudly wear the Green rosette: the party shares my commitment to local health and welfare but allows me to always put you first – not a party manifesto. I believe being your representative shouldn’t just be about relaying questions to council officers. Your issues are my issues, and I won’t stop until I have clear reasons, solutions, and a plan to bring them sooner. And I’m not afraid to stand up publicly for your causes. You can watch me doing so on YouTube, pointing out the risks to overloading our traffic infrastructure, at a recent council planning meeting here: https://www.youtube.com/live/O1WjDoLiBW4?si=pxmAxedD7c220pjE&t=3489 Incidentally, I had better legal knowledge than most of the committee – what the Labour councillor says about them needing to vote in line with their so-called 'experts'? Not true. But having worked closely with existing local councillors, I know all this is just the tip of the iceberg. A vote for me is a vote for someone who will champion a sustainable, safe, and thriving Alconbury and Huntingdonshire we can all be proud to call home.
