Rethink on Peterborough’s Solstice development plans ahead of nightclub’s demolition
Contractors will begin to demolish the nightclub, in Northminster, on Monday (November 29) and will clear the site in the first stage of the redevelopment.
The work will not involve any road closures but pedestrians are warned they may find some temporary diversions around the pavements in front of the site.

But the proposed development was prepared before Peterborough City Council and the Peterborough Investment Partnership unveiled their own residential-led plans for the market and former multi-storey car park site and which have just secured the go ahead.

“This updated application will be submitted shortly.”
