Previous Mayors
There is no shortage of former mayors currently sitting in the
council chamber. Peterborough councillors Cllr Ridgway, Cllr
Holdich, Cllr Lowndes, Cllr Raines, Cllr Bartlett and Cllr Swift
have all been Mayor of Peterborough. In fact, Cllr Swift, who held
the position in 1961/62, was following in the footsteps of his
mother Maud, who was mayor a few years earlier.
And the position of mayor could be said to have been a family
affair as Audrey Chalmers, Cllr Swift's sister, was also mayor in
1980/81.
Below are all of the previous Mayors of Peterborough listed in
order of year starting with the earliest date.
