Work to be done

The work by Peterborough City Council to spruce up the heart of our city is an undoubted success story. There will be some who will always hate the Cathedral Square fountains but the city centre as a whole is surely better for the public realm work. So it’s hard to quibble with the news that Lower Bridge Street is the latest area to get a makeover. But I’m going to, quibble that is, because the priority should be to upgrade Broadway. Crossing from a smart Long Causeway it’s like entering another country. It is in urgent need of a revamp.
