About

Hargate & Orton Longueville sit on the western edge of Peterborough and are principally residential. The ward combines an older village core with later estate development, so streets include a mix of historic lanes and planned roads. Local provision includes primary schools, small shopping parades, a community centre and sports pitches, and regular bus services link the area with the city centre and Peterborough railway station. Allotments and open playing fields provide local outdoor space.

The older village pattern remains visible in a short main street and adjacent green, which give way quickly to 20th-century housing estates and connecting footpaths. A network of cycle routes and bridleways crosses the ward and meets quieter lanes, making short trips by bike or on foot straightforward. The arrangement where a linear village core sits immediately alongside estate streets defines the area’s character and supports a mix of household types, while travel times into the city keep the neighbourhood practical for commuters.
