Bigger and better
A bigger and better Peterborough that grows the right way and
through truly sustainable development and growth:
- Improves the quality of life of all its people and communities
and ensures that all communities benefit from growth and the
opportunities it brings.
- Creates a truly sustainable Peterborough, the urban centre of a
thriving sub-regional community of villages and market towns, a
healthy, safe and exciting place to live, work and visit, famous as
the environment capital of the UK.
Four Priorities
To support this vision the partners have identified the
following four areas of work, which we need to prioritise in order
to achieve our vision:
- Creating opportunities - tackling inequalities
- Creating strong and supportive communities
- Creating the UK's environment capital
- Delivering substantial and truly sustainable growth
In addressing these priorities we will deliver a number of key
outcomes. We recognise that each of these priorities is mutually
supportive and that one of our challenges will be to ensure that we
take them forward across all areas of our work, recognising their
interdependencies.
Sustainable community strategy
Peterborough’s Sustainable Community Strategy is quite simply
the plan for the future of our city and its surrounding
villages and rural areas. It is an ambitious and far reaching
plan. It aims to substantially improve the quality of life of the
people of Peterborough and to raise the profile and reputation of
our city as a great place in which to live, visit and work. This
plan is very specifically designed to bring clear benefits to the
people of Peterborough. Where we have advantages already, we want
to build on them. We will seek to inject
quality into everything we do, ensuring that as we build the bigger
Peterborough, it is also very much a better Peterborough.
The sustainable community strategy is the plan that will guide
the work of all the partners in Peterborough, public, private,
voluntary and community. It is also the plan for every
individual. We all have a role to play if
we are to build a Peterborough that is not only bigger but very
noticeably better, a Peterborough we can be even more proud
of. You can view a full version of
