Effectively a new seat, this seventh seat added to Cambridgeshire takes in 40,000 voters from John Major's super-safe seat of Huntingdon and four wards of Peterborough. Although partly urban, it is nonetheless going to be a very safe Tory seat, as are most Cambridgeshire constituencies. This is a rare instance of the latest Boundary Commission actually helping the Conservatives.
