News from Peterborough City Council

Residents can look forward to being kept up to date with the latest community news thanks to four new public information boards being introduced by the Greater Dogsthorpe Partnership (GDP).

 

The boards are now in place in key parts of the Greater Dogsthorpe area and can be found at: the Central Avenue shopping parade; the Scalford Drive shopping parade; the Fulbridge Home Zone; and the Welland Road/ Bluebell Avenue shops.

 

Decorated with the GDP logo and strapline "Working Together for a Brighter Future", they have been designed to last for many years to come. Local service providers have been made aware and a team of local street leaders and residents' association members with GDP staff have all agreed to keep these boards up to date with the latest information.

 

Cate Harding, the new acting neighbourhood director, said: "I am pleased to see the culmination of one of the initial projects of the GDP and I hope that this initiative will be the start of a community owned communications team. They will provide a useful tool and aid better planning and forethought to promoting local activities."

 

Residents are already noticing the benefits of the new boards according to Maureen Nash, street leader responsible for the Scalford Drive board.

 

She added: "While updating the board recently I was approached by residents who complimented the GDP on the new Public Information Boards and stated that they found it a really good way of finding out about local events."
