Northampton Borough Council says two developers have put forward schemes to bring the fenced-off four-acre site, once home to the town’s bus station, back into use.

Both are mixed-use schemes that include a mix of “commercial and residential uses,” according to the authority.

The proposals will be put on display to the public from 12 noon on Monday, July 18, until 5.30pm on Wednesday, July 20, in the Court Room at the Guildhall.

Visitors will be able to see what the schemes could look like and will have a chance to leave comments, which will be fed back to the developers.

Final recommendations on which scheme will be taken forward are to be discussed by the council’s cabinet in September.

Councillor Tim Hadland, cabinet member for planning, regeneration and enterprise, said: “I am looking forward to putting these proposals for Greyfriars on display, and getting feedback.
