The B576 road will be closed for two weeks to allow work to continue with the junction to the Rothwell North development. This will run from 5th April to 18th April 2021. More details can be found at

The RNWP are unhappy about a number of aspects of this. In particular we have concerns over the routing of the alternative route along Harrington Road in Rothwell and Braybrooke Road in Desborough. Both of these routes are already difficult because of the volume of traffic and parked cars. The B576 currently takes 6000 cars per day and 12000 before the lockdown. If these are routed along these roads then there could be major traffic jams and an increase in accidents. This will also affect access to Montsaye School, including buses, and the Medical Centre.
We are asking for the closure to only occur overnight, if it has to be fully closed, and the re-routing to be along the A14 - A6 to the B576 roundabouts. We understand our Borough Council have approved the plans but where was the consultation with affected residents and the school and medical centre management?
