On February 10, 2026, people living in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, are invited to a free meeting to talk directly with local police, the Fire and Rescue Service, NHS health teams and council leaders. The event, hosted by the charity Redeeming Our Communities (ROC), will take place at the Gladstone Park Community Centre (896 Bourges Boulevard, PE1 2AN) between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM.
The gathering gives residents a chance to ask questions and learn about the help available in their local area. Senior representatives from the Cambridgeshire Constabulary and Peterborough City Council — alongside other statutory services — are expected to attend to listen to public concerns about safety and local services.
Organisers want to bring different parts of the community together to find practical solutions to local issues. Topics are likely to include funding questions — for example the recently proposed 4.99% policing precept for 2026/27 — and the Cambridgeshire Constabulary’s 2026 ‘Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee’, which aims to increase officer presence in parts of the city.
Instead of being a one-off discussion, the meeting aims to launch a local ROC Action Group that will work on community projects and follow up on issues raised throughout the year. Everyone is welcome to join, from local business owners to volunteers, to help make the neighbourhood a better place to live.
