Thousands of residents across Peterborough will get a chance to share their views on the city's highways and transport services this June.

Starting Wednesday, June 3, more than 4,000 Peterborough residents will see a National Highways and Transport public satisfaction survey drop through their letterbox.

The aim of the survey is to seek the general public’s views on highways and transport services, from the condition of roads and footpaths to the quality of cycling facilities.

The answers provided by Peterborough residents will then be compared with the views recorded by other members of the public across England and Scotland. All of those being surveyed are asked exactly the same questions, regardless of where they live within the country.

Peterborough City Council is one of 100 local authorities to take part in the survey. It is the largest collaboration between local authorities offering the opportunity to compare results, share in best practice and identify further opportunities to work together in the future.

Councillor Angus Ellis is Peterborough City Council’s Cabinet Member for Transport. He said:

“This survey will enable us to find out what residents of Peterborough think about transport services in the city, and also which services they think the council should look at improving.”

This is the 19th year the survey has been running, although it will be the twelfth consecutive year PCC will be participating. The council previously ranked first in 2020 and third in 2024 in terms of best performing highways authority in the country.

Cllr Ellis urged anyone who gets the opportunity to respond:

“If you receive it through your door please complete it and tell us your views, as in previous years those residents who received the survey have provided information which have helped us prioritise and deliver our services,” he said.

Residents who receive the questionnaire can choose to complete it online if they prefer. A short URL link will be printed on the front of the survey sheet, plus there will be a code to enter before completing the questionnaire.

Up to two people from each household surveyed can respond.

The local and national results will be published in autumn 2026.
