NHS Haematology Specialist Saqib Farooq writes from his Castor home. THE TIMES, THEY ARE A-CHANGING….

We asked our regular Village Tribune contributor, NHS Haematology Specialist and Castor resident Saqib Farooq, about his passion to represent his rural patch on Peterborough City Council. He responded: “..This week we have one of the biggest elections in United Kingdom history. Polls will open this week (6th May) for local council elections across the UK and we here will also vote for our Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Mayor and our Police and Crime Commissioner. Also this week we say farewell to our long serving Glinton and Castor ward councillor and the Peterborough City Council leader John Holdich, after his almost 50 years serving our local community. I’m sure most will wish him a peaceful and enjoyable retirement, but safe in the knowledge he will be there to offer advice and counsel if asked. I’ve had the great pleasure and privilege of working with John and Peter Hiller in the past 18 months on the wide range of community issues faced by our residents across the ward. Issues such as fly-tipping (particularly in our green spaces), AntiSocial Behaviour, illegal traveller encampments and parking issues during school times. Alongside my busy NHS role over the last 12 months I have learnt hugely from our two long-standing councillors about how to get the best from

PCC for our rural villages and

I’ve experienced first-hand how professionally and promptly they resolve our day to day issues and respond expediently to the more serious challenges they face on residents’ behalf. If elected, I will do my best to follow in John’s footsteps and will continue to work very closely with Peter to serve our nine villages and help to keep our Tribland ward a safe, well-maintained and desirable place to live, play, educate and raise our families. I love where I live and want to protect our rural communities for us now and for future generations…” glintonandcastorward@mail.com
