The fight is on. We will oppose Bristow every step of the way with his war on our environment! His ambition to destroy the Embankment will provoke anger and disgust in Peterborough. He knows this issue polarised the city last time it was raised and dividing the city is his aim now!

""That doesn’t necessarily mean the embankment. But it does mean a new community stadium that would double up as a concert venue AND provide a much – needed new pool too. "

Finally, a top council spokesman admitting a new stadium doesn't have to be built on the Embankment!

We formed to protect this piece of green space and we still exist, ready to fight like hell should the embankment come under threat again!!!

We are not opposed to Posh or a new stadium, we are opposed to it being built on a publicly-owned green space. Our space!

Before I get into the depths of local politics in this column, we as a group would like to thank all the volunteers who put in hours upon hours of hard work on the doorsteps sharing our positive message and vision in Paul Bristow’s Mayoral campaign, writes Peterborough Conservative group’s John ...

"Posh have spoken of their desire to utilise the Embankment for the project but no firm decision on a location is close at this stage."

We've never been opposed to a new stadium, we just don't want it on public land and he knows that. He doesn't need to meet the council to build on private land!

Not a direct threat to the Embankment so is this good or bad news?

And look at which awesome green space they choose to illustrate the piece.

Hopefully, this will mean more people make use of the Embankment as a green space.

The bridge is expected to open in summer 2025.
