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

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.
