The Mayor
Peterborough City Council elects a Mayor to serve for one
year. The Mayoral year is always busy and the Mayor will
attend many functions including formal civic events and the annual
meeting of the Council. At the beginning of the year the Mayor will
nominate charities which will receive the proceeds from the
fundraising undertaken during the year. The Mayor receives many
invitations to events and functions throughout the year and so many
of these are attended by the Deputy Mayor when the mayor is booked
elsewhere.

Although the powers of mayor have diminished over the years the role has retained its importance.
The word 'Mayor' derives from the French 'Maire' which in turn probably originated from the Latin 'Major' meaning the greater or superior.
There is no shortage of former mayors currently sitting in the council chamber.
Invite the Mayor of Peterborough to attend, open, speak or make a presentation at an event.
Guidance for the organisers if the Mayor is attending your function.
