Have your say on the future of transport in West Northamptonshire
03 December 2025
West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has launched a public consultation on three draft transport strategies that will shape how people travel across the area in the years ahead.
These documents build on feedback received during consultation on the Council’s Local Transport Plan last summer.
Residents, businesses, and community groups are being encouraged to share their views and help create a transport network that supports growth, sustainability, and better connectivity.
The consultation focuses on three key areas:
- Active Travel – Making walking, wheeling, and cycling the natural first choice for local, everyday journeys
- Mobility Hubs – Creating convenient locations where people can switch easily between different modes of transport, making travel cleaner and more accessible
- Rail – Working with the rail industry to improve services, accessibility, and infrastructure for both passengers and freight
Cllr Richard Butler, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, said: “We want to hear from as many people as possible.
“These strategies are about creating a transport system that works for everyone - whether you walk, cycle, use public transport, or drive.
“Your input will help us deliver a network that meets the needs of our communities now and in the future.”
The consultation runs from 3 December 2025 to 27 January 2026, and feedback can be provided through an online survey.
Two online information events will take place on Thursday 8 January, giving residents and communities the chance to ask questions and learn more about the proposals. These will be from 11am to 12.30pm and 6pm to 7.30pm on Microsoft Teams and will feature a presentation followed by a chance to ask questions. Email [email protected] to register.
