Many thanks to Matt and the staff at Peterborough Museum for displaying the walking maps and other materials so brilliantly – they are extremely welcoming, well organised and well liked! Brilliant! @PboroMuseum

…. and a lunchtime service going on featuring the marvellous organ! I see and hear different things every time I visit @pborocathedral

Peterborough Cathedral was really buzzing earlier today – school parties, people looking at the Titanosaurus, groups looking at the Longest Yarn exhibition and a group of us discussing Heritage opportunities in the city – and this evening a bondholders dinner @pborocathedral

Peterborough … a challenge. One of the cities that were twinned with - Bourges in France - is to be European Capital of Culture 2028. How can we tap into this and share in the celebrations? I’ve written to Matt Gladstone and @docshab Watch this space!

Delighted to read that Marjorie Pollard is included in the new book about women’s cricket ‘The Women in Whites’. In Peterborough we have a blue plaque to Marjorie who was once described to me as “formidable”

Many thanks to Peterborough Cathedral, especially Linda Dowell, who always efficiently and meticulously put out the Civic Society’s leaflets and make sure that they are regularly available and topped up 👏 @pborocathedral

Paul Stainton has a very valid point. This is an issue that the Civic Society will be bringing up with Peterborough City Council officers at a liaison meeting in a few weeks time @PeterboroughCC

Not a good look for the city centre - vans parked everywhere at 11am - When you are trying to encourage families into the city centre at half term this is not the look you want - can we not make people deliver before 10am and after 4pm ??

What does it take to keep a city positive?

In our latest issue, we sat down with the team at Peterborough Positive – the people quietly scrubbing graffiti on Sunday mornings, filling Cathedral Square with film screenings, and making sure every business in the city centre has a voice.

Pep Cipriano and his team are doing work that matters – connecting businesses, animating public spaces, and proving that positivity isn't just a mindset. It's a strategy.

Bridge Street Peterborough, the first in the late 1959s/early 1960s, the second this afternoon – I know which one I prefer!

[Toby Wood @TobyWoody]

Had a wander around Peterborough city centre this afternoon – splashes of colour really help! Many thanks @PboroPositive - you are certainly making a difference!

A splendid Peterborough skyline … the north side of St John’s Church looking past Miss Pear’s Almshouses Cumbergate towards Peterborough Cathedral this afternoon …

[Toby Wood @TobyWoody]

Small pieces of art turn up in the most unlikely places – at the Bourges Boulevard entrance of Queensgate on the way to Peterborough railway station … this afternoon

[Toby Wood @TobyWoody]

What would John Clare say? Long Causeway Peterborough this afternoon ….

Peterborough Lido turns 90 this year. It survived a WWII bomb, two fires and repeated closure threats – saved every time by the community that loves it. Now there's a new book and a free exhibition celebrating nine remarkable decades. Magic, in every sense.

CRASH OF THE TITANS
Peterborough Cathedral prides itself on welcoming all comers, from every faith or walk of life – but in April it opened its doors to its strangest visitor yet: a 37 metre long, 100 million-year-old dinosaur.

Weighing in at an estimated 57 tonnes, Patagotitan mayorum may be the largest creature ever to walk the earth – five times more massive than the largest elephant. On loan from the Natural History Museum (NHM), the life-size skeleton – standing 6 metres tall – will be on display until 31 May.

The Moment talked to NHM palaeobiologist Professor Paul Barrett, who opened the exhibition, about what we can learn from dinosaurs, why size matters and what brought the giant creatures’ reign to a catastrophic end…

Peterborough City Council’s City Centre Visioning Project aims to transform Peterborough.

But what is the project, how is it being implemented – and will it work?

Site preparation work on Cygnet Bridge in Peterborough gets under way today.

The initial phase of work on the new £8.3million cycle and pedestrian bridge over the River Nene, starts today, with the project expected to take around 12 months to complete.

Once constructed, Cygnet Bridge will provide a more direct, pedestrian and cyclist friendly route between Fletton Quays and the Embankment.

Cygnet Bridge is one of our Government Towns Fund projects and the money is ringfenced meaning we can only use it for the bridge and not on something else. The bridge’s other funding is made up of match funding from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority and money paid to the council by developers known as the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and S106 contributions. No funding for this project is from the council’s corporate budget.
