Inside Labour's Cambridgeshire & Peterborough mayor campaign With the 2025 local elections less than a week away, I went to visit Cambridgeshire and Peterborough as Labour try to see off an attempt to flip the region’s mayoralty, won by a knife-edge at the last...

lovely article -sums up many of my reflections on four years and the friendship and respect forged between myself and Anna .

β€œShe understands that message of compassion in bucket loads.”

β€œI’m proud to call her my friend.”

Mayoral Precept Funds New Tiger Bus Routes in Cambridgeshire Dr. Nik Johnson, Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, highlights the importance of the new Tiger bus routes in improving bus services for the region.

Labour's mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social and deputy mayor @anna4labour.bsky.social pushing on with new bus routes. Delivering on promises.
With full franchising we will get the routes we need at the times we want for a fair fare.

Pleased to work with @citizensuk.org (thro' @cambstravelall.bsky.social) for citizens' input for Cambs&Peterboro bus improvements after @mayordrnik.bsky.social's franchising decision. Will candidates @anna4labour.bsky.social @lornadupre.bsky.social Paul Bristow commit to rapid intervention?

If I had been standing as the Labour Mayoral Candidate would have been supporting this local campaign as well as the already recognized campaign for wider recognition and regular use of the Fenland Flag

Bus ticket for Β£2 single fare

Bus ticket for Β£2 single fare

The previous Government’s bus fare cap was due to end last December.
Here in Cambridgeshire the Labour mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social has kept single fares at Β£2.
That’s one of the differences a Labour mayor makes

Our Mayor @mayordrnik.bsky.social has grown into the role and is now delivering.
We all need to throw our weight behind Nik, he can achieve so much for the many.

I can't believe Paul Bristow will work with a Labour government and share ideas and thoughts with other mayors such as @mayorofgm.bsky.social

The Labour government appears keen to push mayoral responsibilities

Only Dr Nik @mayordrnik.bsky.social can do this for Peterborough and Cambridgeshire....

Out talking to residents in Castle division this afternoon and great to hear from lots of people voting #Labour in May. Residents know it is a binary choice between @mayordrnik.bsky.social and the Tory for Mayor, and all I spoke to wanted the former! It might be cold, but the welcome was warm! 🌹
