A decision about plans to build a multi-million pound indoor activity centre in a country park in Peterborough could be made in the coming weeks.

The eight million pound project includes Olympic standard climbing walls, a cafe and indoor play. It would be built on the car park next to the water sports centre at Ferry Meadows.

But critics say the design is not right and will ruin the look of Ferry Meadows.

Nene Park Trust has spent years trying to get these plans off the ground. A final decision from the city council is due in weeks.

If the plans get the go ahead later this month - the new activity centre could open next year.

Peterborough City Council says that all comments raised through the planning application consultation process will be considered by the planning committee.
