“I think to be privileged to serve two councils in this way would be pretty unusual'
As South Ribble ’s new mayor takes up his civic post, there is a chance that he could be part of history in the making.
Put the two together, however, and they could be a unique pairing – at least in Lancashire and possibly beyond. That is because they have both now supported each other during stints as mayor for two different areas. Back in 2015, Margaret – a former Preston councillor – became mayor of the city and invited Peter to be her consort. Now she is doing effectively the same job for him – and he says his experience in Preston almost a decade ago helped him learn the ropes for what lies ahead.
Peter, who represents the Samlesbury and Walton ward, will be raising funds for four nominated charities during his time as mayor – Alzheimer’s UK, St. Catherine’s Hospice, Tender Nursing Care and sight loss charity Galloways.
