Brackley Town Council has formally responded to West Northamptonshire Council's latest active travel proposals, which aim to improve road safety and encourage walking, cycling, and wheeling within the town.

Following an initial consultation period, West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) has developed more detailed proposals and is now seeking further feedback from residents before any final decisions are made. These proposals focus on three key routes within Brackley.
Scheme 1 addresses Manor Road and Waynflete Avenue. Potential changes under consideration include implementing one-way traffic systems, introducing new and improved crossing points, and adjusting parking measures near local schools.
For Scheme 2, proposals include enhancements to existing crossing facilities and measures designed to reduce vehicle speeds along the High Street, Burwell Hill, and Northampton Road. Options such as speed bumps or chicanes are being evaluated.
Scheme 3 focuses on Halse Road. While specific proposals have not yet been developed for this route, WNC is actively seeking residents' views on desired future improvements along this significant route that connects the other two schemes.
Residents are encouraged to review the full proposals, which include detailed maps, via the provided links. An online survey is available for individuals to share their thoughts and comments on each scheme. Participants can choose to answer all questions or focus on specific proposals.
The consultation deadline is 11.59pm on Sunday 11 October 2026. Brackley Town Council stresses the importance of local feedback, as the proposed changes could significantly impact future mobility within Brackley, aiding WNC in reaching an informed decision.
