In recent years, The Peterborough Telegraph’s social media pages have regularly been filled with commenters down crying the city centre.
Whether it was the loss of John Lewis and M&S, or the addition of another restaurant or cafe, many people have been longing for ‘the good old days.’
However, with HMV, Miniso and Frasers all opening in the city centre, there is more positivity about Peterborough’s retail offering.
We asked readers on our Facebook page what shops they would like to see in the city centre – and this is just a small selection of the answers you gave.
