More than 4,000 residents will be asked their views on Peterborough's highways and transport services.

A random sample of residents will receive the 'National Highways and Transport public satisfaction survey' next week, which will ask for comments about the condition of roads and footpaths, and the quality of cycling facilities.

Peterborough City Council (PCC) is one of 96 local authorities to sign up to the survey. The answers that residents provide will be compared with the views of other members of the public across England and Scotland.

The local and national results will be published in mid-October 2024.

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.

Last year, PCC were ranked at number 23 for best performing highway authority nationally and were also joint top performing highway authority in the Eastern region.

Residents who receive the questionnaire can also complete the survey online and a short URL link will be printed on the front of the pack.

James Collingridge, PCC's service director for infrastructure and highways, said: "The results of this survey will enable us to find out what people in our city think about these important services. It gives them the opportunity to say which services they think the council should prioritise, and improve.

鈥淭he surveys will only take a few minutes, so if you receive it through your door please take the time to complete it and tell us your views.鈥
