Meet your councillors
John Jefferies
John Jefferies was born and brought up on the family farm at Fullers Hill, Little Gransden, where he continues to live and work. He has served on the Parish Council for several years, including two terms as Chairman.

Oliver Hipwell
Born in Little Gransden and now moved back into the village, as well as working on my familiy’s farm for the past 8 years: these connections mean I have a true passion about the village’s rural environment and fascinating history. I understand the importance of everyone having a voice, and feel that I am able to provide the voice and outlook of a younger member of the community.

Robert Murden
Robert Murden has lived in Cambridgeshire all his life, moving to Little Gransden in 2008. He is married with two daughters. His career began in production engineering for high-tech companies in Cambridge and progressed to purchasing manager for a large heating and ventilation company. Inthe past he was an enthusiastic football and cricket player and half-marathon runner. He is now retired, which gives him more time to play golf and bowls.

Noushin Rostami (co-opted 6 September 2018)
I am a resident of Little Gransden. I moved here almost 18 years ago and brought up my young family. Due to work commitments, I was away from the village for a period of time. However, I have been back more than four years and, for good. I work part-time as an Occupational Health Adviser for Cambridge University. I so enjoy being part of this beautiful and friendly village. As a Parish Councillor I hope to be a voice for my co-residents. I bring my life experience as a mature mother who is also thinking of the legacy we leave for future generations living in this area.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) update from South Cambs District Council

The weekly email from South Cambs District Council leader, Bridget Smith included:


  • The importance of reminding yourselves and each other to care for your own mental health as well as that of residents –  Every Mind Matters 
  • A reminder to encourage residents not to delay seeking medical help. Urgent care for conditions such as heart attacks and strokes, and care for longer-term physical or mental health concerns that may naturally deteriorate over time, should be sought as usual. The sooner people seek help, the better their outcomes. 
  • Guidance from Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Safeguarding Adults and Children Board:
    • ‘If you see something, say something’ 
    •  how to help as volunteers 
  • Requests from Fire and Police services about safety, including encouraging residents to be considerate and not have bonfires, and to encourage residents to be aware of ‘Distraction burglaries’ 
  • You can view all current FAQs on the South Cambs website. Updates this week include:
    • Support for unpaid carers who may be struggling to cope
    • Updates on working with pharmacies, including how volunteers can collect residents’ prescriptions from hospitals, and how residents can pay online for prescriptions
    • Support for carers with a focus on caring for those with learning disabilities / autism
    • Support for residents seeking supermarket vouchers. 
    • Some guidance for people who are bereaved
  • South Cambs  will regularly update their website with information about funding to support the work you’re doing – please regularly check our dedicated page for the latest information

For more information see the South Cambs District Council website, or contact our village support group Bluebell-19 which has its own page on Facebook.
