Interesting but I'd like to know what the full criteria is to decide which city is worse? New Road/Northminster was fine a few years ago but is definitely a run down dump now. It's about to become full of flats so will that improve it or make it worse? As it's a council initiative, probably the latter. As for Millfield. It's not nice but not the worse (wouldn't be walking at night though) but they were up near the Triangle which isn't too bad? Once again though, like much of Peterborough, and indeed most UK towns now, you don't want to be out walking alone at night. Thorpe Lodge Hotel, think I'll strike that one off the list  |

Good news though  On 23/00400/OUT, someone from Sussex thinks that more concrete and people will improve this "We cannot keep Peterborough on the list of worst places to live without supporting developments like this that will have a transformational impact on the City."Assume that they have tentatively reserved a property on site should the development ever see the light of day so that they can relocate from 100+ miles away  |

For sure there are worse places to live but Peterborough is dreadful. I was born in Peterborough - my parents came here from the Lake District. Employment reasons, Perkins Engines. No work in the lakes other than tourism.
The first house I bought at 18 was Burmer rd. We would regularly do the Crown to Town along Lincoln rd. Great times. I wouldn’t dare walk 100 yards on that road now.
There is nothing that Peterborough can offer or entice me. I’ve moved further away with every move. Now +14 miles North of that awful place.

Have no fear, the AEPG massive seem to feel that their vision will correct any deficiencies. Rumour is that they've sounded out the Thorpe Lodge Hotel representatives to advise on the design of their proposed hotel |

With the current loss of Peterborough Speedway and EoES just confirming the city's position as a place to avoid, I was reminded of this video and the potential survival skills for certain city areas (that's a joke btw if you don't twig, and nobody should resort to violence of any sort, ever) that AEPG and co would like to include in their ill-fated city gateway development: " a range of activities including axe throwing" I thought that was a wind up and not as envisaged. Therefore I had to investigate and it would appear that it's actually a thing? Axe throwers benefit from axe throwing by achieving better coordination, agility, strength, and endurance. All these skills are necessary to throw an axe towards its target. Axe throwing improves your reaction times, but also helps relax you after a stressful day at the office. 20 Jul 2021 You can practice axe throwing in private property in the UK. The proviso being that you take sufficient precautions to ensure that the thrown axes stay within your property, and do not cause danger, damage, or nuisance to others or their property.22 Jul 2022 On average, the cost for an hour-long axe throwing session ranges from £15 to £30 per person.9 Jan 2024 - and they say that speedway is expensive |
