What you’re going to discover …

The Stories They Water Down

 

The Hilton skeleton. The £8.3M Cygnet bridge that still isn't built. What's actually happening with development, spending and the decisions being made about YOUR city — not the council press release version. The stuff the Peterborough Telegraph buries on page nine, we put front and centre.

Your Money, Your Home

 

 

Property prices by PE postcode. Energy hacks that actually work. New builds worth buying and ones to avoid. Rental traps to watch for. Real advice from local professionals who live here, work here and aren't trying to sell you anything. The real cost of living in Peterborough right now — and what you can do about it.

Eat, Drink, Live

 

 

Weekly restaurant reviews. Top 5 lists. The best of Peterborough's food, drink and social scene — from hidden gems on Lincoln Road to overrated chains we'll happily name. If it's new, closing, or worth the drive we'll tell you before everyone else finds out.

Family & Lifestyle

 

School catchment areas. Half-term ideas that don't cost a fortune. Childcare costs. Weekend plans that don't involve Ferry Meadows for the fourth time this month. Real recommendations from real Peterborough parents who are figuring it out just like you.

Your Voice

 

Polls, debates, reader picks, hot takes. This isn't a broadcast — it's a conversation. You tell us what Peterborough needs to hear and we put it in the newsletter. Your city. Your say.

 

Local Business Spotlight

 

One Peterborough business featured every week. Who's opening, who's closing, who's doing something worth shouting about. No pay-to-play, no sponsored fluff — just good local businesses getting the attention they deserve.
