Greater Peterborough · The joining wards

Meet the nine

Nine wards of western Huntingdonshire — market-town streets, growing new communities and quiet village greens — proposed to join the city as part of Greater Peterborough. This is their roll call.

Every one of these communities already looks towards Peterborough — for work, shopping, study and healthcare. Under the Option D proposal they would leave Huntingdonshire District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council behind and be served by one new unitary authority, alongside every existing city ward.
