Peterborough Spotlight is a free weekly newsletter for people who live and work in and around the city. Every issue covers what's actually happening — property, money, schools, local openings, council decisions, and the practical stuff that affects your week — written without spin, without fluff, and without pretending everything's fine when it isn't. We work with a small number of trusted local partners whose expertise genuinely helps readers make better decisions. We don't do ads. We don't do filler. We just tell you what's going on and what it means, every single week.
