Mid Cambridgeshire is the name used for a proposed unitary council in discussions about reorganising local government in Cambridgeshire. It appears in option D, a proposal to replace existing arrangements with new unitary authorities. The available evidence identifies it as a proposal, not an operating council.
Its significance rests on the distinction between a political proposal and a legal authority. A unitary council would combine functions otherwise divided between county and district councils, but Mid Cambridgeshire has no confirmed statutory status in the evidence available. On 1 September, the Government had not confirmed option D and no Structural Changes Order had been laid.
