The historic cathedral city of Peterborough has hit back after an online poll branded it the worst place to live in England.

The survey of more than 42,000 people on the website "I-Live-Here.co.uk" has ranked the ten worst towns in the country.

Peterborough's history goes back to the Bronze Age.

It has a 900-year-old Cathedral that sees tens of thousands of visitors a year and is the final resting place of Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of Henry VIII.
