First day vs. Last day of #Lab26 conference 🌹 The best PM speech, catching up with colleagues and friends and a lot of insightful events on migration and international development - and of course a pint of No 10 North 😂

This morning I popped in the St Ives Green week cafe at the Methodist Church on my way to the Needingworth surgery. Was good to speak to some of the St Ives Green Week organisers and volunteers. 🌱

It's the last day of the month so here's the usual summary - this time as both District and County Councillor. A lot of May has been the election and the following AGMs and training, but there are some local updates.

Labour are freezing rail fares for the first time in 30 years. Alongside the work to take back railways into public ownership, this is good news - even for -6 degrees mornings 🥶

Alex Bulat @labouralexb.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

t's the first weekend in January so back to the weekly canvassing - it's really important to be out on the doorstep all year round to speak about local issues. Thanks Sue, David and Luke who braved the freezing temperatures today 🥶

Good news from Cambridgeshire County Council - EV charging is now (finally!) operational at the St Ives Park & Ride. There are 9 chargers next to the bus stop, all powered by renewable energy generated on site through those solar panels. Let me know if you use them and what is your feedback!

What a great Freedom Parade in St Ives this morning - the 42 Engineers exercising their Freedom of Town, marching accompanied by the Welsh Guards Marching Band. 🇬🇧

Did you notice how quickly the debate moved from “it’s not about you, you came here legally and integrated, it’s illegal immigration” to “people with indefinite leave to remain should have their status retrospectively removed” The more we legitimise anti-migration narratives, the worse it’ll get.

I like buses but also steam trains - not as much as Cllr David Landon Cole though …🚂 Amazing to see this train at Huntingdon station this morning and to support the Mayor of Huntingdon - Cllr Karl Brockett’s charity awareness work.

Alex Bulat @labouralexb.bsky.social · 08/02/2025

Bus franchising is happening in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough 🚌 Watch this short video for an update on this week’s decision by Mayor Nik Johnson and what this means for the local area. What do you think about franchising?

Is there a bus from St Ives to Needingworth? Yes - the 301 Dews bus: bustimes.org/services/301... Did you use this route and if so what do you think? Would more frequent buses on this route help?
