Our vision is:

To shape West Northamptonshire's freight network so that goods move safely, efficiently and sustainably, supporting local communities, businesses and the environment now and in the future.

Your feedback will help us understand which actions have the strongest support and where changes may be needed. For each action, please tell us whether you agree or disagree.
