About

Werrington ward lies in the northern part of Peterborough, primarily characterised by residential development. The area is dominated by housing estates built from the 1960s onwards, ranging from detached homes to terraced properties. It functions as a commuter suburb, with local retail concentrated along Church Street and at the Werrington Centre. Green spaces like the Werrington Recreation Ground provide areas for sports and leisure within the community.

The landscape includes the pastoral valley of the King's Dyke, a tributary to the River Nene, which marks part of the ward's western boundary. Werrington's infrastructure is defined by its proximity to the A15 and A47 road networks. The local identity is partly shaped by its historical separation as a village before being incorporated into the city during Peterborough's expansion.
