Peterborough’s Community Strategy 2005

Peterborough’s Community Strategy was formally adopted by Peterborough City Council in December 2004.

The strategy sets out a vision for a bigger and better Peterborough and outlines the plan for the future of our city and the surrounding villages and rural areas. It reflects both the agenda for growth and the clear desire to ensure that Peterborough grows the right way, so that an expanding population leads to genuine improvements in key areas. It recognises that if we are to create a bigger and better Peterborough, then we will have to deal quickly and effectively with the pressing issues of today as well as the plans for tomorrow.

Growth will also mean change, not only in buildings and infrastructure but also in our communities.

It is the plan that sets the direction for all those involved in the development of Peterborough: whether they are public, private, voluntary, faith, social or community organisations.
