Citizen Power is a collaboration between the citizens of Peterborough, the RSA, Arts Council and Peterborough City Council to explore new ways of making the city a better place to live.  This site is an open, online collaborative space for everybody to air their thoughts, opinions and ideas on the project and get first-hand updates on exciting news and events. Feel free to get involved! 

Citizen Power includes six interconnected projects, each of which addresses priorities identified by the local authority and Peterborough residents. Click on the links below for more information.

• Arts and Social Change: putting art at the heart of the city. 
• Peterborough Curriculum: connecting what we learn with where we live.
• Civic Commons: empowering local people to take action.
• Sustainable Citizenship: making green innovation a reality.
• Recovery Capital: supporting long term recovery from problem drug and alcohol use.
