Anglian Water say work will start on 10 June and could be finished by November this year.

A new storage tank, that can hold up to 150,000 litres of rain water will be built to help prevent flooding.

The new tank, in Celta Road, would be used to store water during heavy rainfall, until the network frees up.Anglian Water said the tank would be sealed and underground in a field, so residents would not be able to see, hear or smell it. The second part of the project will be at the pumping station, Wessex Close, Peterborough, where the water company will modify and install new equipment to increase sewer capacity.
