Peterborough Council 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 City of Culture 2029? 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 vanity project that'll waste officers' time & our money. Bin it. Stop being silly PCC! 😅

#Peterborough #CityOfCulture #COC2029 #Pottyborough #PCCfinancialCrisis #Culture

#Peterborough's #CityOfCulture 2029 bid? Flashy promise, but past winners like Coventry saw £𝟮𝟭.𝟯𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗽 into administration. Bid 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 will it really transform or just drain funds?

Local 𝘛𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 vs 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿 BATTLE continues ......

😯 It seems the dispute between #CllrAlexRafiq and PCC leader #CllrShabinaQayyum, looks unlikely to cease!

#PeterboroughCC #PboroShittyCouncil #Pottyborough #PCCfinancialCrisis

"If U think the Elections are being cancelled for your benefit .... I've got a bridge I'd like to sell you!" 🤣

#HiltonHotelSaga -> Town Hall sources tell me it'll cost more to bring up to scratch, than the Hotel is really worth!!??

Labour controlled Peterborough City Council say they're looking at increasing #CouncilTax by the 4.99%❗️
-> In order to do so, they'll need to either hold a referendum or seek special permission from Central Government⁉️

#PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #Pottyborough

😂😅🤣 Peterborough City Council, spending time, telling people NOT to park irresponsibly at a football match - that is NOT happening today⁉️🤦
➡️ The announcement that the match would not go ahead was made on October 2, 2025❗️

#PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #Pottyborough

Cash-strapped Peterborough City Council wants to increase #CouncilTax by more than the national limit!
-> Going above the 4.99% cap requires either a referendum or special governmental permission!
#PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #Pottyborough

Personally, I'd like to see #Peterborough City Council create an Ai chatbot, to replace at least 40 of the 60 City Councillors, who do nothing, saving #taxpayers, at least £600k a year! :)

#Pottyborough #PeterboroughCC #PCCfinancialCrisis

Peterborough City Council's debt ballooned 5x+ under 21 yrs of Tory control: <£100m in 2000s → £526m TODAY!
-> Also sold £50m+ public assets to plug holes. -> Grants also slashed by 40%! 

#PCCfinancialCrisis #ToryFail #PeterboroughCC #PeterboroughDebt #LocalGovCrisis #UKPolitics

-> Just a couple of hours after being elected the new leader of Peterborough City Council, #CllrShabinaQayyum gave an interview 🎙️ to Salaam Radio 106.2FM!

#PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #Pottyborough

😯 #CllrJohnHoward cannot fathom how Lib Dems who tried to depose the Labour Party 8 weeks ago, are now happy to work with them⁉️

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

🤫 I'm told several Labour Councillors are already unhappy with the set up⁉️

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

🤣 EVEN #CllrPeterHiller couldn't believe it! It won't surprise you to learn that none of the 60 City Councillors are Ambulance Drivers, Bricklayers, Posties, Bus/Train Drivers, Social Workers, Plumbers etc❗️

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

-> Cllr Qayyum has been backed by 61% of elected members! Ex-leader #CllrWayneFitzgerald came 2nd! 😅
#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

-> #CllrJohnHoward highlights instability at PCC, pointing out 16 meeting have been cancelled, this year alone!

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

-> I see #CllrJohnFox (sat behind) appears to be smirking throughout this proposal!?

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

-> #CllrMohammedJamil says he thinks Shabina will do an "excellent job"!? 🤔

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

Those who didn't bother to attend include:
-> Husband and wife, #CllrDennisJones and #CllrAlisonJones!
-> Plus, #FibDems' husband and wife, #CllrAsifShaheed and #CllrAnnShaheed!

#PCC120925 #PCCfinancialCrisis #PeterboroughCC #CllrWayneFitzgerald #CllrShabinaQayyum

🌉 #Peterborough's #CygnetBridge:
➡️ Delayed to 2026, costs spike £2M to £8.3M for just 132 seconds walking time saved⁉️🤪
➡️ Design flops & sewage woes - taxpayer rip-off❓
#PCCFinancialCrisis #Pottyborough #CllrDennisJones #CouncilFail #PeterboroughPolitics

-> Peterborough Council's debt explodes £13.5m to £526m - £2,396 per Peterborian!
-> Borrowed big for schools & offices, now slashing libraries & jacking taxes to 5%. Labour's mess?

#PCCfinancialCrisis #CouncilDebt #TaxHike #Peterborough #UKPolitics #LocalGovCrisis

-> 18% of Labour councillors in #Peterborough, have resigned in under a year!
-> Some have left due to bullying and harassment claims.

#CllrNicolaJenkins #Bretton #CllrDennisJones #PCCfinancialCrisis #PboroLabour 

*** Shocking *** Peterborough Council's £532M debt drains circa £21.5M a year in interest alone – that's OVER £413K disappearing EVERY WEEK on nothing!!
-> Time to wake up?

-> £15M down the drain? Peterborough’s half-built Hilton Garden Inn is now a pigeon roost, not a hotel!!
* Taxpayers deserve answers!

© Q: What's the LATEST RE: The Green Backyard??
* Previously 600+ residents rallied to protect Peterborough’s Green Backyard from a 48-home plan! 
* Will the council bulldoze the community?

😣 They really are grasping at straws to rejuvenate the City Centre, aren't they!?

🤔 "I mean, you can see 👀 how it could all look a little dodgy, eh?"

#Nepotism #BoysClub #HillBillyBrigade #PUFC #PeterboroughCC #Pottyborough #PCCfinancialCrisis #LondonRoad

😯 The vote was close, the debate, on occasions personal and a few home truths came out!

#PeterboroughCC #PboroShittyCouncil #Peterborough #Pottyborough #PCCfinancialCrisis

🗣️ "I'm actually wondering if this a hoax post, in that #CllrShabinaQayyum does have a wicked sense of humour, and given the vote is expected to be close, I'd be amazed if she was flying out on holiday, instead of attending!?" 😯
