Fletton is a residential area and electoral ward of the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in the United Kingdom. For parliamentary purposes it falls within North West Cambridgeshire constituency. The area is home to football team Peterborough United F.C., known locally as ''The Posh'', who play at London Road Stadium. 158 (Royal Anglian) Transport Regiment (Volunteers), Royal Logistic Corps is headquartered at the Territorial Army centre on London Road.〔(158 (Royal Anglian) Transport Regiment (Volunteers) ) British Army (retrieved 11 December 2012)〕 ==Administration== Lying south of the River Nene, the area was historically part of Huntingdonshire (although not the present district of that name), rather than the Soke of Peterborough in Northamptonshire. It was divided into Old Fletton, which prior to the Local Government Act 1972 formed a separate town with its own council (Old Fletton Urban District) and New Fletton which, from 1874, was administered as part of Peterborough Municipal Borough. Some maps still show New Fletton (on the south bank of the river) as well as Old Fletton (further to the south) with the boundary at Fletton Spring. In 1965, the administrative counties of Huntingdonshire and the Soke of Peterborough amalgamated as Huntingdon and Peterborough and, in 1974, Fletton became part of the Peterborough district of non-metropolitan Cambridgeshire.〔The Huntingdon and Peterborough Order 1964 (SI 1964/367), see Local Government Commission for England (1958 - 1967), ''Report and Proposals for the East Midlands General Review Area'' (Report No. 3), 31 July 1961 and ''Report and Proposals for the Lincolnshire and East Anglia General Review Area'' (Report No. 9), 7 May 1965〕 The parish church, situated on Fletton Avenue, is dedicated to Saint Margaret.〔Lewis, Samuel (Fletton (St. Margaret) ) ''Topographical Dictionary of England'' (7th ed.) vol. 2 (pp. 241–244) S.
