West Northamptonshire Council are intending on carrying out drainage work along a section of the above road between Towcester Road and Chapmans Drive. To undertake the works safely will require that the road is closed for 1 day and is expected to be taking place on the 7th November 2026.

There will be access for residents but also likely to be delays whilst the works are carried out.

If you require more information about the works please contact Abi Brown on 01604 529700

Free Mature Driver Event – DIRFT, Crick

Wednesday 14 October 2026

Are you a mature driver aged 60+?

Do you live in Northamptonshire and rely on driving to stay independent?

This free event is designed especially for you.

Driving plays an important role in everyday life, and as part of the Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance, we are keen to help mature drivers stay safer on the roads for longer. While driving ability can change over time for many reasons, particularly as we get older, recognising and adapting to these changes can help keep both drivers and other road users safe.

This Mature Drivers event is aimed at drivers aged 60+ and will cover a wide range of topics related to safe driving, including:

* Practical advice and safety information
* Opportunities to reflect on how driving needs may change over time
* FREE hints and tips driving sessions, available to book and delivered by Northampton Advanced Motorists at a convenient date

Our aim is simple: to help mature drivers drive safely, confidently, and for longer.
