Representatives from key industries came together to hear about exciting plans for the future of Northampton on Monday, 5 December at the Filmhouse.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is pleased to be working with partners across the county to deliver regeneration projects in Northampton which will transform the town and provide improved services and leisure facilities for residents.

Those attending Monday’s event had the opportunity to hear first-hand about the projects beginning in 2023, including Market Square, opening of Vulcan Works in February and the improvements to the public realm within the town centre.

Attendees received an update on the work of Northampton Museum and Arts Gallery, including an announcement that the museum has regained full Arts Council accreditation.
