The Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority
Nik Johnson is the mayor. He was elected on 8th May 2021.
The mayor is not a ceremonial position, but rather that of a chief executive. The incumbent’s job is to work on the strategic issues crossing individual council borders within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough – notably our housing, travel and infrastructure needs as part of the devolution process which puts local decisions in the hands of local people rather than central government.
Although being mayor is not a political role, Nik was elected on the Labour ticket on 6th May 2021, replacing James Palmer (Conservative) who was the County’s first mayor (2017-2021).

Elections for Mayors are held every four years. The last election was on 6th May 2021 – the next will be on 1st May 2025.
Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire
Darryl Preston is the police and crime commissioner. He was re-elected on 2nd May 2024 (for a four year term), having been first elected in May 2021 (for a three year term).
The PCC is responsible for an efficient and effective police service in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough by setting police and crime objectives, the police budget and issuing crime and disorder reduction grants through his police and crime plan. He also holds the chief constable to account, making him answerable to the public.
The office replaced the Cambridgeshire Police Authority.
While the role of PCC is non-political, Darryl was elected on the Conservative ticket in 2021 and re-elected in 2024. He succeeded the late Sir Graham Bright (Conservative), the first incumbent in the post (2012-2016) and Jason Ablewhite (Conservative) (2016-2019); Ray Bisby was acting PCC (2019-2021).
