Pippa Heylings

Phillippa Frances Heylings, known as Pippa Heylings, is a British Liberal Democrat politician who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for South Cambridgeshire since 2024. She has been a member of the South Cambridgeshire District Council for Histon and Impington since 2018 and chairs the council's Climate Change and Environment Advisory Committee.

Early life
Heylings was born in Kingston upon Hull, her mother a nurse and her father a GP, and grew up with three brothers. In 1997, Heylings graduated from Rhodes University in South Africa with a master's degree in environmental education.

Parliamentary career
Heylings was elected as MP for South Cambridgeshire at the 2024 general election. She won 25,704 votes (46.8%), with a majority of 10,641 over the second-placed Conservative candidate. There were six candidates and a turnout of 71%. Following the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, the constituency's boundaries had changed, so that the 2024 seat was made up of parts of the previous South Cambridgeshire constituency (67.4% by area and 72.2% by population of the new seat), South East Cambridgeshire (31.9% by area and 18.8% by population) and Cambridge (0.7% by area and 9.0% by population). The notional 2019 result for the new seat was a narrow Conservative win over Liberal Democrat (43.5% to 41.0%), and Heylings's result in the new seat was described as a Liberal Democrat gain from the Conservatives.

Personal life
Heylings moved to Impington in the South Cambridgeshire District in 2012.
