News from Peterborough City Council

Peterborough's street wardens are spearheading a clean-up operation around the Peterborough market with the help of cleansing operatives from Peterborough City Council's city services division and market traders on Thursday (7 August) from 10 am.

 

The area around the city's covered market, which includes Laxton Square, will be targeted in the clean-up as everybody involved aims to improve the area. Any litter will be removed and the graffiti busting team from city services will remove any graffiti. In addition to the clean-up, flower beds around the city market will be tidied-up making the makeover complete.

 

Street warden Denise Mayes said: "Cleansing operatives do a fantastic job throughout the city centre on a daily basis making it a wonderful place to work or to visit. However, we thought the area around the city's covered market could do with some extra special attention.

 

"By working with our colleagues in city services and the market traders, we hope that the additional clean-up will improve the area further for those who work there and for the thousands of shoppers who visit the area."
