The award-winning broadcaster has launched three radio stations in Peterborough and has been responsible for raising more than a million pounds for local disability charities.

He said: “I am looking forward to working with other organisations who together can make Peterborough the most vibrant city in the East of England. Over the last eight years Vivacity have helped more people enjoy sports, experience art and culture, learn and be healthy at significantly less cost to the local taxpayer.”

Alan said he was proud of Vivacity’s “many achievements” during his time as chairman.
