Fifty years later Northampton once again finds itself in a hugely pivotal moment. With the success of both the Future High Streets Fund and Town Fund from the Government to develop another masterplan, alongside the changing of our local government structures following the County Council’s bankruptcy in 2018, the echoes between the town's past and present feels stronger than ever. Following our Northampton-focused pilot project in 2018, we're very excited to start exploring Corby's unique New Town story.
Whilst the project unashamedly prioritises our local experiences, I believe it will capture many of the moods and rhythms of large towns up and down the country attempting to regenerate.
