I am interested - I was at the C P & P meeting on 21st and the group was recommended to me. I am Vice Chair of PMVC, Peterborough Voices and Petrborough Youth Choir, so music is my primary, but not exclusive…"

I've not interacted with the Creative Peterborough group before - after signing up there was very little activity, and as a result I got on with my own interests in ignorance of this group and the activities. Do you have some…"

Profile Information
- Where are you from?
- Peterborough
- Have you lived in Peterborough long?
- Since December 2009
- What is your own vision for Peterborough?
- I would like to see the city making the same impact as other cathedral cities, with a more vibrant cultural life with the statutyory, commercial and voluntary asrtd sectors working together to bring a real cultural offer to the city.
- One thing you'd like to change about the place?
- I would love to see Peterborough as the regional cultural centre, rathewer than a retail park. There are so many groups in the area taking part in arts and cultural events, but they are disconnected, poorly marketed as a sector and underdeveloped.
- What areas of the Citizen Power project are you most interested in?
- Really interested in the Social Media project. Am an enthusiastic environmentalist, so the sustainable citizenship project also takes my fancy. I am also concerned about the degradation of my local area with the demolition of buildings by the railway station and the Peterborough District Hospital site and would like to see a sensible linked development taking place. I would also like to see a concentration on good quality cultural opportu nities - not just a retail and night drinking economy.
- What's your favourite place to eat in Peterborough?
- Have yet to find an ideal.
- Favourite place to go?
- Thorpe Hall and the fields around it.
- If a Martian came to Peterborough, what would you show him/her/it to explain what the place was about?
- I would be a bit embarrassed to show the failure of the City to break free of its market town mentality. I would be sad to show empty shops and underused industrial spaces that could, with a little investment and some real imagination, convert into a vibrant cultural centre that will draw people in to the area for a quality evening or weekend out.
- Tell us some more about yourself
- After one year in the City I would love to become more involved in community projects. I have just retired afte 30 years working in London. I am involved in the Peterborough Male Voice Choir and a Governor at the Voyager Academy. I am keen on Arts, Culture and Environmental issues. I am a beginner "natural" beekeeper and I'm also training a Hearing Dogs for Deaf People puppy.
