WNC - Drop-in sessions to help shape local transport across our area

Posted 2 days ago in West Northamptonshire Council

A new plan is being developed that outlines what local transport will look like in West Northants over the next 20 years.

The Local Transport Plan details a range of proposals, with the aim that by 2045 the Council will have worked with communities and partners to:

• Make public transport more attractive and accessible
• Make active travel such as walking or wheeling a first choice for short trips
• Reduce dependency on private cars
• Make our transport system safer, cleaner, and more inclusive
• Improve transport infrastructure and transport services to make them more resilient
• Achieve net zero.

Residents, businesses and community groups are being invited to help shape the plan and join one of the upcoming in person or online sessions. A series of drop-in events are being held across the area and online on the following dates:

• Tuesday 13 August, 9am to midday at Daventry Market Square, High Street
• Friday 16 August, 9am to midday at Brackley Market, The Piazza
• Wednesday 21 August, 10am to 11.30am, online
• Thursday 22 August, 9am to noon at The Grosvenor Centre, Northampton
• Monday 23 September, 10am to 11.30am online
• Friday 11 October, 9am to midday at Towcester Farmers Market, Richmond Road

For joining instructions to the online sessions, please email localtransportplan@westnorthants.gov.uk.

The consultation closes on Thursday, 17 October and people can have their say by visiting our consultation hub.
