Millfield & Bourges Boulevard

Millfield and Bourges Boulevard sit immediately north of Peterborough city centre, with Bourges Boulevard forming a curved section of the inner ring road that helps channel traffic around the core. The boulevard takes its name from Peterborough’s twin city, Bourges in France, and the road is a clear east–west route for buses and local traffic. Millfield occupies the streets just off that route and is defined by a mix of older terraced housing, council-built estates and small commercial parades that serve day-to-day needs.

Local provision includes convenience shops, takeaways, primary schools and community hubs that serve nearby residents; several bus routes run along Bourges Boulevard linking the area with the station and city centre. There are small public greens and play areas within walking distance of the main road, and short routes from the neighbourhood lead directly into central shopping and services. The pattern of through-traffic on Bourges Boulevard next to quieter residential streets gives Millfield a clear separation between main routes and local life.
