With the increasing population of Peterborough the retention of
the valuable green spaces we have becomes ever more important,
especially within the city centre, which is rapidly turning into a
concrete jungle.This embankment has been neglected for years by our
council and lack of facilities presently restricts its use.
Visiting events that bring facilities with them see fantastic
attendances into the thousands and shows that there is great
potential if properly managed.
The value this area brings to the public is immeasurable as space
of reflection and unity and it also serves as protection in the way
of flood defences,and acts as part of a wildlife corridor.To allow
the construction of a stadium on a huge part of this site would be
short sighted and for commercial gain at the expense of the whole
of Peterborough, with the adjacent university buildings that will
further encroach upon this site there will be very little public
green space left.
