Peterborough Positive’s vision for a cleaner city centre continues

One of Peterborough BID’s key priorities throughout its first term is to accelerate efforts in making the city a cleaner place to be for both residents and visitors alike. To commence this initiative, the team orchestrated a mass clean-up throughout one of the city’s major visitor gateways: from the railway station, down Cowgate via the underpass, and through to Cathedral Square. This is a high footfall route for many tourists, especially when flooded with football fans heading to London Road on match days, and the area has seen a build-up of litter, stickers, graffiti and more over time. As such, Peterborough Positive has collaborated with Peterborough’s Community Payback team and the council to change this.

Great progress has been made so far, with over seven bags of litter collected, three 2.5 litre tins of paint used, and a large number of graffiti/stickers removed.
