Councillor Peter Topping

Sensible suggestion from a Mum in Whittlesford this evening as I was out talking to people. The warmer and longer days soon bring all the children out on bikes, skateboards etc.

About me

We have lived in or near Cambridge since coming back from Hong Kong in the 1980s. I have worked in the private sector, but mainly in public service, running legal aid for this region, advising Home Office ministers on criminal law policy, running change programmes, and more recently reviewing major projects for government departments.
I got into local politics when I joined the parish council in Whittlesford in 2006 and decided to stand as district cllr in 2008. I was elected, and re-elected in 2012. In 2013 I was elected as the County Councillor for the ten villages round Duxford. I am now leader for South Cambridgeshire District Council.
My wife works in the NHS, and my two boys are now grown up and work away, so I have the opportunity to get really involved in getting things done locally.
As well as being leader for South Cambs I am vice-chair of the Audit Committee for the County Council. I also serve on the Health & Well-Being Board for Cambridgeshire. My main sport is rowing, but I also run and cycle. If you follow me on twitter you can also see the results of my culinary activities.
