Introduction

Fletton residential district and electoral district of the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in the UK. For parliamentary purposes it falls within the Northern District of West Cambridgeshire. Squares home to League One Peterborough United, known locally as Posh, who play at London Road Stadium. Posh were brought to the championship 2009/10 season, but withdrew at the end of this season.

Lying to the south of the River Nene, the area was historically part of Huntingdonshire (though not currently an area with the same name), rather than juice Peterborough in Northamptonshire. It was divided into Old Fletton, which prior to the Local Government Act 1972 formed a separate city with its own board (Old Fletton Urban District) and in New Fletton, which was operated as part of the Peterborough area.

In recent years, economic growth has been impressive. The disposable incomes of many households have increased substantially. Over the last few years home ownership has increased to over 52% with a housing stock of 6.5 million units. The economic growth has boosted the demand for higher-quality homes with more luxuries, and a growing desire for space in and around the home. The current housing stock and new residential building are still failing to meet this demand. As a consequence, in recent years, house prices have risen by 10% or more in the owner-occupied sector. This demand for quality is also resulting in the need to adapt a part of the housing stock, estimated at 25%, to current requirements.
