Pride in Peterborough

Having come hot foot back from holiday, I want to talk to you about Pride in Peterborough which sits as one of our key objectives in the Local Area Agreement under Strong and Supportive Communities.

My Mother passed away on Monday and I have had to go through the process of organising the cremation. What has really made me proud is that we will be going to one of the top Crematoriums in the whole of the country, which has just won the Green Flag accolade and joins other venues across the city. I know my Mum would be happy with this and I know that my Dad will love to visit.

I have also picked up the fantastic finds that have been uncovered within the city centre as we work on the public realm and as Ben Robinson continues to delve into our history to display our long and historic city’s past. For those of you that would love to know more, then as a Peterborian who went on one of the Museum walks I learnt a lot and I suggest that you pop along to the Museum to find out more. I would challenge any of you that this would not improve your pride in Peterborough.

There is such a lot more within the city to be equally proud of, both in the changes that we plan for the growth of the city and in the continued events such as the Festival, Great Eastern Run etc, this all contributes to Peterborough having strong and supportive communities across the city. I am proud and I want you to be proud too.
