Bus Users Meeting 21st April at Guildhall
Bus Interchange Exhibition 23-27 April 11am-5pm at the One Stop Shop next to the Guildhall. Please try and get to the exhibition as there you will have an opportunity to air your views.
Plans have been submitted for approval and this could be your last chance to make your views known. There is an article in the 21 April Chronicle & Echo giving details about the bus interchange.
The new interchange will give fewer bays for buses to pull into than at present at a time when housing developments are planned which could be served by public transport. Another issue is that there will be over 100 bus movements per hour on roads where passengers will be crossing to and from the bus interchange.
On the plus side:
The Megarider Plus fare which now extends to Pattishall - details in Around Pattishall - means that those without a bus pass can travel across a large area for just £5.90 per day which may help people working in and around Northampton. A 7-day ticket is £20. A map will soon be put on the Parish Council noticeboards around the villages or visit the Stagecoach website for more details.
Also the NCC will soon be placing more bus stops in the villages to ensure that people are aware of the bus service, although you can still hail and ride at any safe spot along the route.

County Connect Bus Service
The CountyConnect service is based on Lincolnshire's successful CallConnect service that has been running for over 10 years. It is designed to allow the bus to fit around anyone's needs, rather than an occasional service that really could only meet shoppers' needs. Read more
New play equipment
The new play equipment installed at the Playing Field is proving very popular, much in demand during the recent Easter holidays and after school each day. The zip wire and taller climbing frame compliment the older equipment offerring a play experience for both the younger and older primary school children.
