About CambsNews
CambsNews is an independent, fearless news platform dedicated to uncovering the stories that others won’t touch, especially in Peterborough and North Cambridgeshire.
We shine a light where others dim theirs. While mainstream publishers often sidestep uncomfortable truths, we dig deeper. Our coverage of Peterborough is unapologetically forensic. We hold councils, councillors, officers, and public bodies to account. From opaque spending to questionable governance, we expose the decisions that shape our communities, particularly when those decisions lack judgment, transparency, or integrity.
Investigative Journalism with Teeth
Our reporting doesn’t stop at press releases. We conduct rigorous investigations into public spending, governance failures, and institutional inertia. Whether it’s a council contract quietly awarded or a historic payment buried in the books, we follow the money and the silence.
We’ve developed our own AI-powered tools and financial interrogation systems that allow us to:
• Scan and analyse years of payment data across councils and public bodies
• Identify patterns of mismanagement, conflicts of interest, and poor oversight
• Surface historical transactions that reveal systemic failures or questionable judgment
These tools give us a unique edge in uncovering what others miss or choose to ignore.
Why Peterborough and North Cambs?
Because these areas matter. Their stories are often underreported, misrepresented, or buried. We believe Peterborough deserves better — better scrutiny, better storytelling, and better journalism. From civic dysfunction to grassroots resilience, we document it all: warts and wonders alike.
Our Mission
To make governance legible. To make journalism accountable. To ensure that no official, organization, or institution escapes scrutiny simply because it is inconvenient.
CambsNews is not just a publication. It is a civic tool. A watchdog. A legacy.
