Few cities have as much warehousing beside a motorway as Peterborough. The sheds around Alwalton Hill and the older Fengate industrial area generate constant lorry movements, and yards, loading aprons and estate roads collect pallet debris, shrink-wrap and grit that has to be cleared to keep sites safe and presentable.
Road sweeping is also driven by growth. The Hampton townships south of the city are still being built out, with further land beyond them allocated for housing, and each phase brings earthworks traffic onto the parkway system. That network of fast dual carriageways links the A1(M) on the western side with the A47, A15 and A605, and much maintenance on it is carried out at night under lane closures.
Areas covered around Peterborough
Enquiries for Peterborough take in the Ortons, Bretton, Werrington, Stanground and Hampton, along with Yaxley, Eye and Whittlesey on the fen edge. Operators also reach the villages towards Stamford and Oundle, though more rural jobs mean extra travel and are better suited to a half or full shift. All bookings depend on a sweeper being free on the day.
