Talking of Coun John Holdich he is not only council leader but also one of the city’s longest serving councillors. As such he appeared on a picture of Peterborough city councillors and officers from 1983 which featured in the Looking Back pages. John was looking very youthtful back then, so fresh faced in fact that he looked like a dead ringer for Harry Potter. Mind you the machinations at Hogwarts have nothing on dealing with the Muggles in the town hall.
