Talk:Huntingdonshire

message: I've been looking into why Huntingdonshire wasn't given unitary authority status in the 1990s round of reform.  It's all a bit odd.  John Major was apparently very keen on the idea.  Huntingdonshire was in the list of districts referred to the Local Government Commission for 're-consideration'.
And they recommend out of this list, Rutland, with a far smaller population.  One theory could be that Rutland simply has a much stronger local identity.  The administrative county of Rutland was scheduled to be incorporated into Leicestershire in the mid 1960s, at the same time as the creation of Huntingdon and Peterborough.  But Rutland fought this off, and delayed it till 1974.  And it was able to get unitary status in 1996, despite its tininess (one of the smallest (by population) _districts_ in England - let alone counties!)
Another factor may have been that unitary status would have left the Cambridgeshire County Council covering too few people to be viable in itself... Morwen - Talk 17:17, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: I think we need a new section here! Some other counties have one for election and even a visual representation in the info box of the different parties, can we see that this is done?Sheffno1gunner (talk) 03:25, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Whether or not Huntingdonshire is a county today, it is unfortunate that most of the content for each of Wikipedia's places within what was Huntingdonshire is devoted to describing that place in relation to its political position in Cambridgeshire today. Most of these entries appear to be templates, repeating the same information again and again. The only historic facts contained in these pages refer to information from the Domesday Book. Surely something happened somewhere in Huntingdonshire between 1086 and 1974? I recommend consulting the Victoria County History for Huntingdonshire online (https://www.british-history.ac.uk/search/series/vch--hunts) and seeing what might be found there. --Oldontarian (talk) 07:24, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
