A five-year strategy to help Northamptonshire manage growth

摘要

Regional Planning Guidance for the South East has identified the general area of Milton Keynes and the South Midlands as one of four potential major growth areas. This provides Northamptonshire with the opportunity for sustainable economic growth over the next 30 years -which includes 167,000 new homes and 141,000 new jobs. With this level of growth comes the need to plan and develop the transport infrastructure to meet the travelling needs of the public and business alike in a sustainable manner. The growth in Northamptonshire will be centred round the towns of Northampton, Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby. The largest of these is Northampton which has been the subject of a multi-modal study and a successful 'Getting Northampton to Work' bid to central government through the Local Transport Plan and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's Sustainable Communities Delivery Grant.
