Schemes
Northampton, Briar Hill and Upton Park, River Nene connection
Two bustling main roads cross the River Nene near Northampton centre. Neither serves cyclists in comfort or safety. It is the same for people wishing to ride up or down river since development on both banks has long ignored the water. The project plugs many of the remaining gaps by sponsoring new paths, along and across the river connecting to homes, workplaces, shops and cultural facilities.
