The Positive Plan for Corby

Alex Lock is the key author behind The Positive Plan for Corby that seeks to make Corby the powerhouse of North Northamptonshire with a view to expand upon previous campaigns like the Pen Green Lakes Campaign and the northbound Corby Rail services to make Corby a gateway to the East Midlands. From a second SEND school to help alleviate pressure on Red Kite School and stop using expensive Independent Schools to a second health centre based in Weldon, this plan details how we grow with the greater Corby area to become the place to live in Northamptonshire.

It includes:

1. A vision for Greater Corby
2. Governance of Infrastructure through a Joint Infrastructure Forum
3. The Homes we need, where we need them
4. Ensuring health services available in Corby
5. Education and SEND including a second SEND school
6. Road improvements such as the Northern Orbital Road
7. A plan to have a town wide cycling and walking plan to enable active travel
8. Rail plans including a second platform and revitalising the Welland Valley Rail services
9. Improvement to our Green and Blue Infrastructure including making Pen Green Lakes a country park
10. Improving quality of life by supporting families and focusing on climate change.
11. Building on Corby Heritage and committing to the arts via an annual arts festival
12. Campaign for community safety including knife bins and the amnesty as well as supporting the call for a police station in Corby
