About

East ward encompasses a largely residential area on the northern bank of the River Nene, characterized by a mix of housing from different periods. The neighborhood includes the district of Woodston and areas near the East of England Showground, with a practical layout centered around local shops and schools. Its proximity to the river provides a consistent natural boundary and influences the local geography.

A notable local feature is the presence of the former Peterborough Power Station site, a large brownfield area that has shaped part of the ward's eastern edge. The area is also served by the Peterborough United football ground at London Road, which sits just outside its western boundary. Transport connections include the A15 and the railway line, which runs adjacent to the ward, linking it to the city center and beyond.
