Changes to Road Closure Plans

Rothwell North Working Party

Press release - immediate


Road closure planned for 5th to 18th April 2021 has been reorganised so that full road closures are overnight and at the weekend outside the Easter holidays.

The closure was advertised on the 25th of February and raised a significant number of objections from Rothwell and Desborough communities, including an emergency Desborough Town Council Meeting on the 8th of March. The closure would have caused significant problems for students, staff, and parents getting to and from Montsaye particularly those travelling by bus.  There were also potential problems with getting to the Rothwell Medical Centre, also for service busses running between the two towns and daytime use of Fox Street and Harrington Road as a diversion route.

Rothwell North Working Party (RNWP) have been working with developer Persimmon Homes since early 2017.  This has been to ensure that disruption to the two towns is minimised during construction works and, in particular, a link road is built as soon as possible to the A6 bypass.  

Chairman of RNWP Pete Chapman commented “I am delighted that the Working Party and its highly active members have been able to achieve this result on behalf of the community.  I am full of praise for Persimmon Homes, the County Council and Paul John Construction all of whom wanted to minimise the impact of the planned work on the two communities.  They could not have been more helpful and caring about addressing the issues. I would also like to thank County Councillor Jim Hakewill for alerting us to the problems and working to bring everyone together to find a solution”.

Chairman of Desborough Town Council Cllr Linda Burnham commented “As soon as the details of the road closure were published my phone started ringing and emails flowed in expressing concern about getting between the two towns during the proposed closure.  I immediately called an extraordinary Town Council meeting which was well attended and covered all the concerns.  We wrote to all concerned and I am delighted that the revised plan has been drawn up.  I appreciate the way in which RNWP, Persimmon, PaulJohn Construction and the County Council have responded to community concerns while ensuring the safety of their staff.

There will be a number of night-time and weekend closures along with traffic lights remaining in place which will cause some disruption but much less than the original proposals. The footpath between the two towns will be open throughout.


Rothwell North Working Party is an entirely voluntary group of residents from Rothwell and Desborough who are working with any organisation that shares its objectives in relation to the building of new homes at Rothwell North (now named Woodland Valley)
