Thanks for explaining all of this, something that the developers and North Northants Council have failed to do so far. All some of the residents want is consultation and more information.
I moved to the UK from Australia in 2014, we chose Wellingborough and picked a nice little area in Robin Lane. Got a lovely house for us (Dad, mum and I) and enjoyed it. Until 2016, when we started having trouble parking outside. New people arriving in what seemed like hundreds every few months. New cars, more frustration finding a place to park. Potholes got worse and worse, car in garage 4 times for pot hole damage in 2017. New houses being built, the entire town is changing by the year, I'm all for change but its now at breaking point for most of us on Robin lane now, so many cars, so little parking spaces. Multiple complaints to council to sort more parking out to no avail (It even took them a year to come and paint new lines in the parking bays! .... for the houses across from us and not us!!) We have cars parking with enough room between each other that you could fit an truck in between, meaning two peoples poor parking leaves other residents with no place to park. Hemmingwell having new CCTV installed, but still not tackling the desire of every other driver to fly down the 20mph roads at 40 even 50mph because they can. When's the last time I saw police around here? The last time an incident happened! Never see them roam about or walk around anymore. Seems they are a reactive force rather than a proactive force these days. I've been saying it for years, its only a matter of time before someone driving 40mph into robin lane hits someone, it could be anyone. Children, elderly people, me, you, anyone. I've seen so many cars fly up robin lane at over 20mph they wouldn't even have a chance of stopping if someone stepped out. My dad is 77, my mum is 71, Routine hospital appointments are now a thing...its hard to do so with a positive attitude about living in Wellingborough if I have to park my car down the bloody road each night! I feel like we're going to sell up in the next two years and move away. Thanks for your video, it reinforced my feelings that the town is growing too fast for its own good. With these new roads I am sure in the future they will try build more houses. Before you know it we we all won't even be able to move without bumping shoulders with other people. The core of the town is lacking, poor roads, parking for existing residents, schools, shops, eventually will need an A&E at the rate their building houses yet we're all focussed on building more houses for more people to cram into our town that can barely cope with the existing population. Such a shame my feelings on Wellingborugh have become so negative.
Hi purple👋Nicely explained and much easier to see👀from the drone footage 😊reassuring to know the new road will be tree🌳🌳🌳lined, and that the recreation area will be left intact👍👍👍
Thanks for this and the mysterious dark horse. It is spectacularly scary a) the road is going to be so wide and imposing and b) the lack of responsibility of NNC.
Planning Application Documents WP/2004/0600 includes a detailed explanation in the document "transport assessment... A45-slip roads-Turnells Mill" and one of the conclusions is that without counting the traffic from East Wellingborough (aka Stanton Cross) the roundabout would be a choke point around the year 2026. Well before 2026 we know that the Senwick and Elsden roads have regular congestion with traffic heading to the station and towards Finedon road. This Route 2 offers a detour for those going to Stanton Cross, Irthlingborough and Finedon without going through that choke point near KwikFit and without queueing in front of the station. Considering that the Stanton Cross master plan aims for completion in 2031, I think it's a good thing to expand these roundabouts, the Embankment and the road in front of Tesco now rather than later. If someone figures out how to move mature trees and keep them alive, or how to get Tesco to sacrifice some of their parking instead of sacrificing the trees then we're golden.
it’s so weird seeing that beginning clip knowing my old house is abt two seconds down the road from there 😂 n my current house is only a couple miles away lmao
Jamie with the sinister music!! 🥸 at 4:37 bottom of the screen, do they have that flooded field as well? looks like if they took that then that would save those trees

Nice clear info well done Buh.
That is unreal!!
But Thankyou for the maps and overlay. It all makes so much more sense seeing it explained properly.

awesome work purps
Cheers for this. Now we can imagine the damage that is coming... A ring road? Where are we, London?!
And further in 5.5.9 that Route 9 itself as well as enabling development of Station Island North,
is in itself fulfilling masterplan objectives
Well done Purps nice to know whats going on before its completed
Thanks for updating us mate

Great footage, Puzzling about why they are bothering, North Northants council have just applied for a 15 min Zones. Cant sware to that tho.
Purple can you do some information on the phase 2 Glenvale around Redhill grange ?
Is the new roundabout going to make people use there indicators.
Where will the marina fit into this area or is that now not going to happen
Mate - the council should employ you to explain plans like these more clearly to the public - but maybe that's' not in their interest :)
Are you still using Sparky ? As ive got a couple of batteries if you want them ( I hardly use mine now )
I do when I'm out in the countywide. More batteries means more air time. I would love that
