People are invited to have a say on how west Northamptonshire should develop over the next 30 years.

Northampton Borough, Daventry District, South Northamptonshire and Northamptonshire County Councils are working together on a new West Northamptonshire Strategic Plan to 2050. This new document is an update on the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy published five years ago, and is necessary due to new unitary plans for the county and developments around the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, which has been identified as an area of significant economic potential.

The consultation runs until Friday 11 October, and the document and questionnaire can be found on the consultation page. https://westnorthantsplan.inconsult.uk/consult.ti/WNSPIssues/consultationHome
