West Northamptonshire is at the heart of the UK’s freight and logistics network. Every day, thousands of freight vehicles support local businesses, create jobs, and connect our area to national and international supply chains. While freight plays an important role in our economy, it can also create challenges for local communities, including the use of unsuitable roads by Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), parking pressures, congestion, safety concerns, and environmental impacts.
To address these opportunities and challenges, we have developed a draft Freight Action Plan. The plan sets out a vision and a programme of actions to improve how freight moves into, through and out of West Northamptonshire. It aims to support economic growth, reduce impacts on communities and help the freight industry prepare for the future.
