Fifteen years ago Peterborough was made one of four UK Environment Cities. Since this time Peterborough has worked hard to improve its environmental credentials and is committed to creating the UK’s Environment Capital.
For Peterborough, becoming the UK’s Environment Capital will mean a city delivering truly sustainable growth, ensuring a cleaner, greener, healthier and more vibrant Peterborough for the future.
Success in Creating the UK’s Environment Capital will be directly related to the support and actions of every resident, business and organisation in the city. The greater the support the sooner we will reach our goal. It’s down to all of us.
