Councillors have given the green light for a £4.6 million plan as the next stage of bringing Northampton town centre back to life.
West Northamptonshire Council’s cabinet meeting on Tuesday was asked to approve spending on enhancing Abington Street and Fish Street.
Cash from a £24.9 million kitty won by the council from the government’s Towns
Fund is earmarked to ‘revitalise the pedestrianised areas of Northampton’s main shopping streets with improvements enhancing the experience for pedestrians and families.’
These images by architects show how the town centre could look and are only indicative at this stage. There are four proposals for Abington Street - Dynamic Street, Green Street, Simple Street and a Blended Street - and two proposals for Fish Street.
The scheme will be put out to public consultation later this year.
