Help shape local transport in West Northamptonshire

11 October 2024

With less than a week left, people are being encouraged to share their views on a Local Transport Plan being developed by West Northamptonshire Council (WNC).

The plan has been developed with key stakeholders and details a range of proposals for transport over the next 20 years, 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.
   

"We are keen for residents, businesses, community groups, landowners, and other stakeholders to have their say on whether they agree with the proposals in the plan.

“People rely on public transport for both work and leisure and it is essential that we prioritise the right things. We’re working closely with partners to ensure that our ambition for transport across the area is achieved, whilst also considering our impact on the environment.”Cllr Phil Larratt, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport

The consultation runs until 17 October. People can have their say on our consultation hub.

All responses will then be analysed and considered by the Council in developing the plan further. Once finalised, the Local Transport Plan will be presented to WNC’s Cabinet early 2025 with the final plan to be published following that meeting.
