According to a report in The Sunday Times, Peterborough's
substantial regeneration plans and its commitment to attracting
blue-chip companies, which will provide well-paid jobs, will make
our city one of the most sustainable in the country.
The report
also said that the city's competitive house prices gives homebuyers
more for their money and one couple called Robertson said they are
able to buy a home near Peterborough that is twice the size of their
current property in south-west London.
Peterborough City Council leader councillor Marco Cereste said: "We
are absolutely delighted that the hard work that is going on in
Peterborough to ensure the city continues to grow and thrive,
despite the difficult economic climate, is making a positive impact
on people's lives.
"I have
lived in Peterborough for more than 50 years and I am tremendously
proud of the city. As leader I am committed to putting Peterborough
on the map and making it the best possible place for those who
choose to live, work and visit here.
"I am
delighted that the Robertson family featured in the article are
looking forward to their move to the city, and I welcome them."
The
other areas named in the report were Durham, Salford, Nottingham,
King's Lynn, King's Cross, Southeast London, Margate, Ramsgate,
Ashford, Bexhill-on-Sea and Plymouth.
