The project is being led by Opportunity Peterborough and should be completed by the end of today.

A spokeswoman for Opportunity Peterborough said the work being carried out is standard for major projects such as the water feature installations.
She added: “The archaeological dig is going really well and we’re doing what we need to do, which is paving the way forward.”
The water features and other improvements to Cathedral Square are part of a major overhaul to breathe new life into the city centre.
