Peterborough businesses struggling during 'cafe culture' works
Businesses along a busy city road have said they are struggling while a "cafe culture" redevelopment project takes place. Shops and cafés on Lincoln Road in Peterborough reported a sharp reduction in customers after part of the pavement was fenced off and a one-way traffic system introduced. The improvement works in the heart of Millfield will result in wider walkways and a new pedestrian crossing but Mohammed Farooq, owner of Chicken Palace on Lincoln Road, said "about 65% of our business is gone."Peterborough City Council said it was "trying to put in as much mitigation as possible" for businesses. Mr Farooq told the BBC: "People can hardly walk along the path."Metal gates were erected around the work site between the junctions with Windmill Street and Searjeant Street while the pavements were Mahmood, manager of Nafees, said his South Asian sweets and bakery business was "totally dead".He said businesses which could deliver food to customers were less affected, but his goods must be kept refrigerated."We are suffering right now," he added. The £3.5m works to Lincoln Road were funded in part by the government's Towns Fund designed to encourage economic growth in struggling areas. Peterborough City Council has said the changes aim to encourage people to walk and cycle in the area and bring a boost to the local economy. The work is due to continue until spring Aziz, owner of dessert restaurant Chocoberry on Lincoln Road, said the redevelopments were a "positive" for his business."Hopefully it'll bring new people and people will be excited to come to this road rather than thinking about it in a negative way," he said. "It's a positive thing for us. It's just that we need to make sure that things progress faster. It's a bit too slow."But overall I think it's a good thing and a good development for the area," he Ellis, both a ward councillor for Millfield and Peterborough's cabinet member for environment and transport, said he understood there would be "some disruption" while the works took place. "There was a concern about deliveries to the businesses," he said. "We've put in some mitigations to make sure there's some parking spaces for the deliveries they need."Ellis said businesses were also being sent newsletters updating them about the works, adding the council was "actively promoting the area" on social media."This is a catalyst for regeneration. Once this is done, in the future we can look at what else is possible," he added. Follow Peterborough news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.
