THE BIG DEBATE
We are holding a
series of events which we have called “The Big Debate”
to examine the impact of the economic downturn and how the city
should respond to it.
This Committee will
be looking at how Peterborough should counter the effects of the
economic downturn to minimise its impact on the growth aspirations
of the City.
