Description

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) recently approved its new Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) in June of 2024. The plan lays out multiple actions in its programme for 2024-2025. The plan comprises several programmes, including:
• A Bus Performance Programme that aims to "improve bus performance, traffic signal priority and improved facilities for walking and cycling with strengthened parking and bus lane enforcement" in the following five corridors in Northampton:
o Harborough Road
o Kettering Road
o London Road
o Bedford Road
o Towcester Road

These corridors were already identified in the 2021 BSIP as the ones with the greatest journey time variability and where bus priority interventions would provide the greatest benefit.
The following deliverables will be provided:
• Programme Case For Change - summarise the key findings from Task 1 and the outcome of objective setting in Task 2 into a document which will enable Council officers to establish the corridor schemes within the Council's wider capital programme;
• Corridor Proforma Reports - produce a report for the corridors in a format agreed with the client. This will set out each intervention to be considered, the rationale for the intervention, the opportunities and constraints and its alignment with the objectives in the Case For Change and wider government policies;
• Communications Brief - produce a document which identifies the key benefits of the corridor programme and a recommended approach to communicating this to residents and stakeholders. We would be available to provide public-facing material on agreement of an additional fee.
