A sitting Peterborough City councillor has appeared in court charged with drink driving.

On Friday (August 14), Stanground South ward councillor Peter Reeve (50) of North Street, Stanground appeared at Peterborough Magistrates Court.

He was charged with driving a motor vehicle when above the legal alcohol limit in an incident which took place on July 26 on High Street, Ramsey.

The court heard it is alleged that Reeve gave a reading on 116 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath. The legal limit is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath.

A first hearing case took place on Friday in which it was decided that Reeve would not enter a plea due CCTV evidence that still needed to be shared with the defence.

Magistrate Gill Mitchell made an order for a short adjournment until September 22 was made.

He was granted bail until the next hearing.

Reeve spoke only to confirm his name, age and address during the hearing.

Reeve was elected as a representative of the Reform party in the May 2026 election.
