Peterborough City Council will meet on March 13 to finalize decisions on Werrington Fields, balancing educational use and public access.
Peterborough: An important council meeting is coming up. They will decide the future of Werrington Fields. This land is currently linked to Ken Stimpson Academy.
On January 22, the council discussed leasing the land to The Four Cs Academy Trust. They planned a long-term deal for 125 years. But they postponed the decision due to new information.
A letter from the Department for Education arrived on the same day. It mentioned that the council has the final say on how much land to lease. This means they can keep some space for public use, which residents want.
The extraordinary meeting is set for 7 PM on March 13 at Sand Martin House. Council leader Dennis Jones believes the letter shows they have options. He wants everyone to understand the details before the meeting.
Councillor Katy Cole emphasized the need to move forward quickly. She mentioned they are listening to different viewpoints and hope to find a solution that works for everyone.
