Earlier this month, Pep, our COO, was invited to speak at the Peterborough Business Network event, which was hosted by our cathedral.

Organised and sponsored by Hegarty, in partnership with Peterborough Cathedral and their Heart of the City campaign, the evening provided us with an opportunity to share our successes with the business community and open up opportunities for collaborative working to benefit the city centre.

Pep was joined by fellow speakers Jack Pishhorn, COO at the cathedral; and Al Kingsley MBE, Group CEO of NetSupport Limited, who both explored regeneration, partnerships, skills and growth initiatives helping to shape our city.

Earlier this month our COO, Pep, was invited to the first regional Visitor Economy conference, which was held at Peterborough Cathedral.

As members of the Peterborough Tourism Board, we share the same focus with our partners in attracting visitors, increasing dwell time and showcasing the city to residents.

Hosted by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, the event brought together industry leaders, businesses improvement districts, tourism partners, local authorities and cultural organisations from across Cambridgeshire to explore collaboration for the newly formed Local Visitor Economy Partnership (LVEP), which has been created by VistEngland.

We were able to have insightful conversations with LVEP contributors including Discover Peterborough, Discover Huntingdonshire, Meet Cambridge, Explore East Cambs, Visit Ely, Visit Cambridge, Visit South Cambs and Cambridgeshire County Council all with a focus on strengthening the region's reputation as a destination for visitors, businesses and investors alike.

This week, Pep, our COO, invited the city council's newly appointed city centre manager, Adam and city centre supervisor Dan, on a walkaround to identify issues that require attention.

Working together we have been able to make quick progress and visual impact on:

-fly-tipping

-blocked drains

-damaged street furniture and signs

-lose paving blocks

-graffiti removal

-waste management

As well as, other aspects of the city centre that affect the overall visitor and user experience.

These walkarounds take place each month and feed into the work Community Payback carry out for us every Friday, as well as our litter-pick schedule and the responsibility of the city council's city centre impact team.
