Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority

This election will be held on Thursday 1 May 2025.

  • The Mayor of Cambridgeshire & Peterborough leads the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority. The Mayor has responsibilities in areas such as transport, infrastructure, skills, business, and housing.

    A combined authority is a group of councils which come together to make decisions on policy areas that affect them all, such as transport between local authorities or regional business policies. Not all areas have a combined authority, and not all combined authorities have the same powers.

    The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority consists of Peterborough City Council and all areas of Cambridgeshire County Council.
