Rapid transport system to be looked into by authority
Last week the board of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority agreed to spend £600,000 on an outline business case and options appraisal report for a new metro system in Cambridge which is estimated to cost overall between £1.5 billion to £1.7 billion.
But Cllr Holdich, a deputy mayor of the combined authority, which is headed by metro mayor James Palmer, said: “We will look at a rapid transport system for Peterborough.
“It will involve studies by the end of the year to see if it’s feasible.
“We’ve done very well out of the combined authority.”
