More than 4,000 people are being asked to share their views on Peterborough's highways and transport services.

People selected randomly to take part have begun receiving the surveys through their letterboxes.

This is the 12th year running that Peterborough City Council has commissioned the survey.

Angus Ellis, the cabinet member for transport, said its findings would help the council "prioritise and deliver our services".

The survey asks for comments on the condition of roads and footpaths and the quality of cycling facilities.

Residents' answers will be compared with the views of people elsewhere in England, Scotland and Wales.

The council, one of more than 100 authorities taking part in the survey, was ranked first in 2020 and third in 2024 in terms of the best performing highways authority in the country, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

"This survey will enable us to find out what residents of Peterborough think about transport services in the city, and also which services they think the council should look at improving," said Ellis.

The results will be published in the autumn.
