Peterborough, We've Got a Few Questions…
How hungry would you have to be to order a one-metre pizza?
Does living near Ferry Meadows make your house more valuable?
And if you could change one thing about Peterborough tomorrow, what would it be?
This week's Spotlight has a bit of everything: local plans, unexpected places to eat, property decisions, days out and the true cost of having a dog.
There's also a night out to organise, a Cathedral debate to revisit and the small matter of finding dinner before the curtain goes up.
Plenty to get stuck into.
Let's see what Peterborough has been talking about. |
