I had a chat with Doug Perkins at East Cambs who is heading the Cambs county initiative. Their strategy is to prepare a bid for submission towards the end of the year. The only overlap with Wansford exchange area will be the Huntingdonshire District Council area to the south of the Nene - Stibbington, Sibson, etc. Apparently Sue Bedlow at the Economic Development Unit at Huntingdonshire is involved in this.
Wittering, Sutton and "Wansford north of the river" fall into Peterborough City unitary authority, I had a holding email from them and will update when more information received. Doug Perkins said that Peterborough were attending a BDUK event so something is happening. The challenge will be to get the rural fringes onto their agenda, given that Peterborough City already has Virgin Media cable and BT rolling out Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC, including "BT Infinity") in the Ortons, Yaxley etc.
