Northamptonshire Expansion - 2010 Diary
This diary contains announcements, publication of documentation, and other issues related to the current WNDC and WNJPU centered expansion of population, housing and businesses within Northamptonshire, particularly those associated with Northampton SE, in the area surrounding our village.
The entries are listed in reverse date order, starting with the most recent first.
A link in the 'Info' column will provide more information on the entry, whilst any link in the column named 'Details' will normally provide further details or an explanation or analysis. In many cases an image of the JPU pages, or other external site pages, are initially displayed, with a further link on to the specific site by clicking on the image. This technique has been adopted because we have no control over external sites and links may no longer be available as those sites change in the future.
