Copies of the adopted Masterplan for Towcester are now available for the public. This key
planning document looks at challenges facing the town, highlights opportunities and sets
out a vision for Towcester’s future development.
Commenting Councillor Martin Johns said, “This is an important publication that deals
with issues from the town’s economy, to transport, housing, the environment, education,
health and community services. Towcester Liberal Democrats are giving a cautious
welcome the plan.”
Cllr Johns added, “Like most local people we strongly oppose the proposed move by
SNC to Moat Lane referred to in the plan. Liberal Democrat SNC councillors are also
being watchful that new development delivers fully on what the town needs. This includes
a bypass, community facilities and consideration of how new developments will affect
existing properties both in the town’s estates and at Wood Burcote.”
Councillor Chris Lofts commented, “Although delivered late, this plan offers some good
ideas for Towcester’s future. Liberal Democrats will be scrutinising local authorities and
developers over the coming months and years to make sure Towcester gets the facilities
and infrastructure the community needs.”
