Two parts of Peterborough decide how a move here runs: City Centre / Queensgate and Millfield / Lincoln Road. Across the PE postcode area, controlled bays, timed loading windows and resident permits all decide where a van can legally wait. Apply to the council for a temporary bay suspension before your move date, and tell us about steps, gates, height barriers or a booked goods lift when you book so the right vehicle and crew are assigned.

Peterborough sits in East England and covers the PE postcode area. Give the full postcode at both ends when you book — it is what sets the route, the mileage and the access notes the crew reads before setting off.
Mid-week and mid-month dates have the widest choice of slots. Whatever date you pick, an early start gives the crew the best chance of a legal parking position before Peterborough streets fill for the day.
