The area around Peterborough.
Peterborough pairs a cathedral city centre with extensive new-town expansion, and its position on the Great North Road and the East Coast main line has made it a big warehousing and distribution centre with fast trains to London. The townships built around the old city have their own identities, and newer areas like Hampton are full of households searching for trades and services with no local network yet. Naming those districts on your site matches how people here actually search.
Just over the council boundary, Whittlesey (5 miles), Crowland (8 miles) and Market Deeping (8 miles) are close by. Further out, Ramsey (10 miles), Oundle (11 miles), Stamford (11 miles) and March (14 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Within Peterborough itself, we build for businesses in Hampton, Orton, Werrington, Bretton, Stanground and Millfield.
From our base in Exeter, Peterborough is about 190 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start PE.
