Have your say on how 'west Northamptonshire' should grow over the next 30 years

The events, which are taking place in Northampton, Daventry district, Brackley and Towcester, will give people an opportunity to ask questions about the development of the new West Northamptonshire Strategic Plan.

Daventry District Council, Northampton Borough Council, South Northamptonshire Council and Northamptonshire County Council are working together on the document, which will set out the direction of economic and housing growth for the area up to 2050.

The plan to replace the district and county councils with a two unitary councils and the Oxford-Cambridge Arc means a previous strategy for west Northamptonshire from five years ago needs to be updated.

A public consultation is asking for views on what the new plan should consider, such as housing requirements, priorities for economic development and community infrastructure needs.

The exhibitions will give people a chance to find out more the plan and the consultation, as well as providing an opportunity to chat to officers.
