HAVE your say on the vision for the growth of Towcester.West Northamptonshire Council has begun work on plans to enhance the town and sustainably grow its economy. And it is keen to hear the thoughts of businesses, employees and residents. The council’s Towcester town centre manager Samantha Hosking has been working with local businesses, organisations and Towcester Town Council to promote the town and to establish opportunities to improve the high street for the benefit of businesses, residents and visitors. The initiative follows a similar plan to enhance Brackley. The move is in response to changing usage patterns in the UK’s high streets. Now is the time to review the future of the high street and particularly how Towcester can prosper, the council says. |
Ideas already suggested include:
![]() Improvements to traffic in the town – a key issue for many, says the council – are not included in the survey because of improvements already being carried out in the town centre by National Highways, the Towcester Relief Road and projects under way for cycleways and pedestrian routes. Cllr Daniel Lister, cabinet member for economic development, town centre regeneration and growth, said: “Towcester has a rich historical past and is an important part of our county’s heritage. I encourage everyone who has a view to take part in this survey and help us gather ideas to shape and develop Towcester town centre and provide an enhanced experience for all residents, visitors, businesses and investors.” The survey closes at midnight on June 9.
