Councillor Nick Thulbourn passed away peacefully at Thorpe Hall on Saturday 13 December.
Cllr Shabina Qayyum, Leader of Peterborough City Council, said: “Our city is a sadder place due to the news of the loss of one of our most respected councillors.
“Nick was the type of person who got along with everyone. And nothing ever phased him. No job or task was too big and he always had a solution to, in his words, ‘get the job done’.
“I will miss him very much. Our group will not be the same and we will miss his counsel on matters. We send his wife Margaret and their children and grandchildren our deepest of condolences at this very sad time.”
Cllr Thulbourn served as a ward councillor for Fletton and Woodston from 2012 to 2016 and then was re-elected in 2023.
He also also served as Cabinet Member for Growth and Regeneration between May 2024 and September 2025.
