Local people and organisations have until Friday (7 March) to submit comments on a draft Peterborough Housing Strategy before the document is submitted to Peterborough City Council for approval next month (9 April).
 
The strategy sets out the housing issues and priorities for the city and provides a strategic framework for future investment and management.  It proposes five objectives:
 
  • Availability of quality housing
 
  • Planning for the growth of the city
 
  • Development of balanced and mixed communities
 
  • Ensuring service delivery is effective and efficient
 
  • Promoting and implementing environmental and energy efficient standards
 
A city council spokesman said:  "The strategy has been published on our website for some time to give local people an opportunity to submit their comments.  The views of residents and other key stakeholders are very important to us and will be used to guide the ongoing development of the strategy.  We want the strategy to cover every aspect of Peterborough's housing issues and priorities."
 
The strategy can be viewed at www.peterborough.gov.uk/page-13626.  Any comments should be submitted to: Anne Keogh, Housing Strategy and Enabling Officer, Strategic Growth & Development, Peterborough City Council, Bayard Place, Peterborough PE1 1HZ; Email: housing.strategy@peterborough.gov.uk.
 
Ends.
