On our pages we provide information about how to get advice on a consumer issue and how to report concerns to us; it provides advice on the most common problems we come across including scams and rogue traders, and tells residents about the issues we are currently tackling, linking to our most recent articles to help them avoid the problems that other people in the County are encountering. You can find us at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/consumer.

Help With Local Campaigns
East Cambridgeshire District Council would like to draw your attention to a new free internet service that can help Little Downham residents when campaigning locally. CampaignON.com allows groups or individuals to set up their own fully-fledged web site to promote small-scale local campaigns, either to raise funds for local projects (eg, for the local primary school) or on local issues of any kind (eg, to save the local post office or prevent unwelcome property development).
You can visit the central site at www.CampaignON.com. There you will be able to find out more about us and about our free service. CampaignON.com is simple to use. If you can browse the internet you should be able to set up and maintain your own web site using CampaignON.com. It takes just a few minutes to set up a basic web site. Thereafter you are free to edit and develop your web site at any time.
We believe CampaignON.com provides an effective way to increase community participation in local affairs. We are offering a good service (for free) and we want people to put it to good use. We think residents in Little Downham and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire can help us do that! We would love to see Little Downham organisations making good use of CampaignON.com.
