People will be able to find out more about proposals to improve
Peterborough’s transport network, areas of the city allocated for
growth and the 2011 Census at the next round of neighbourhood
council meetings which begin on Wednesday 1 September 2010.
Exhibitions will be available before each of the seven
neighbourhood council meetings from 5.30pm (Gunthorpe, Paston,
Walton and Werrington Community Committee from 6pm). City council
transport planning officers will be able to answer questions on
proposals which may be included in the Local Transport Plan 3
(LTP3) document, which will set out the transport high level
strategy up to 2026. This forms part of the consultation process
for LTP3, which runs from 1 September to 1 December 2010.
Information will also be available on the 2011 Census and
Peterborough Local Involvement Network (LINk), which aims to ensure
that Peterborough people receive the health and social care that
they want.
In addition, residents living on the route of the Perkins Great
Eastern Run, on Sunday 10 October 2010, will also be able to find
out just how this affects them at their neighbourhood council
meeting. Streets on the route will be closed on the morning of the
race. Detailed information on the times the roads are expected to
be opened will be available at the meetings.
During the meetings council officers will also be giving a
presentation on the Site Allocations document which identifies
specific locations for future residential, employment and shopping
developments in Peterborough.
Council leader Marco Cereste said: "Residents will be able to
learn more about a number of important issues which will effect
everyone who lives in Peterborough in the coming years.
Neighbourhood councils are an excellent way for residents to have
their say and play an important part in what's happening in the
area they live. I urge anyone who has not already attended their
local neighbourhood council meeting to put the date in their diary
and make sure they go along and have their say."
