  • Roade Parish Council
    Roade Parish Council Roade Parish Council has an immediate vacancy for a Parish Clerk & RFO. Roade is a large village in South Northamptonshire with a current population of around 2,750; the current precept is £109,582. Situated 2 miles south of the M1 Junction 15, the village is located on the A508 between Northampton and Milton Keynes, with good public transport links including hourly bus services to both. The village is vibrant and growing; it is home to The Elizabeth Woodville Secondary School, Roade Primary School, Nurseries and Pre-schools, Medical Centre, Post Office, a popular village pub and a variety of shops and businesses as well as over 40 clubs and societies. For all of these reasons, South Northants Council designates the village as ‘one of the 4 most sustainable villages in South Northamptonshire’. By the end of this year, some 400 new homes will have been built in the village leading to an influx of new residents, many with young families. In response to the changing demands, a neighbourhood Development Plan has recently been completed and adopted by SNC following a 95% ‘yes’ vote at the village Referendum in June of this year. As a result of the housing development, the Parish Council receives very considerable s.106 and CIL income and the nearby Roade Wind Farm also provides an annual payment of circa £10,000 from its Community Fund. The Secretary of State for Transport is shortly to determine a Planning Application for a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange at M1 Junction 15. The proposal includes the provision of a by-pass for Roade, so there is the potential for further significant income.

  • The Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Interchange
    The Northampton Gateway Rail Freight Interchange – Order 201X Local Highway Authority Response to Stage 2 Statutory Public Consultation Pursuant to Section 42 of the Planning Act 2008 and Regulation 11 of the Infrastructure Planning (EIA) Regulations 2009 Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for consulting Northamptonshire Highways as the Local Highway Authority (LHA) for Northamptonshire. This response is made without prejudice to any views expressed by other functions within Northamptonshire County Council, or those of Highways England with regard to the strategic road network. This response represents the combined comments of all relevant sections of Northamptonshire Highways, having consulted those teams internally. Transport Assessment The LHA has met the Applicant of the Northampton Gateway proposals and their highways consultants/engineers, along with Highways England, for some time as part of a Transport Working Group (TWG). This TWG has resulted in agreement over the likely traffic predicted to be generated by the proposed development (both light and heavy vehicles) over the course of a typical day, and in particular the peak hours on the highway network. A methodology for distributing the development trips on the road network is also agreed, based on utilisation of the County Council’s Strategic Transport Model, known as the NSTM. The NSTM has been further validated in the area surrounding the proposed development to ensure that it is fit for purpose as the basis for forecasting future traffic levels. In line with the Core Strategy Plan Period the future year for assessment purposes is 2031. Both the baseline and forecast NSTM models have been signed off by the County Council as fit for purpose.
