Temporary traffic measures in Northampton town centre
New traffic management measures are being introduced temporarily at The Ridings in Northampton from Friday, 4 September 2020 to give pedestrians greater freedom to maintain two metres distance and reduce the spread of coronavirus.
The measures will see the Ridings closed to traffic between 7.30pm to 2am every Friday and Saturday from Friday, 4 September until further notice.
The closure will be from the car park exit on the Ridings up to the junction with Fish Street. However, as a left turn from Fish Street is prohibited, these measures will also lead to the closure of Dychurch Lane. More »
The road will be open as normal during the day. It will be an offence to attempt to drive a motor vehicle along The Ridings during the advised times and days. Any deliveries that require the use of The Ridings, should be rescheduled to be delivered outside of these times.
Councillor Anna King, Cabinet member for community engagement and safety, said: "The safety of those who come to Northampton is our primary objective and from Friday visitors will have the additional reassurance of being able to use The Ridings and enjoy the experience free from traffic. I encourage them to do just that while observing the requirements for social distancing.
"These changes will make it easier for people to maintain physical distance while, visiting local amenities, allowing for safer social distancing queue management protecting people from moving vehicles while delivering a more pleasant experience and supporting our night-time economy at this difficult time." » Less

A thank you to Northampton’s volunteers from the Mayor
This week the Mayor of Northampton, Councillor Brian Sergeant, issued special 'thank you' letters to Northampton's volunteers and voluntary organisations who have been supporting communities during the coronavirus pandemic.
In March, thousands of individuals and voluntary groups responded to the appeal for volunteers. Over the past five months, Northampton Borough Council together with volunteers supported more than 1,100 vulnerable people in Northampton. More »
Northampton's army of volunteers helped the community in times of great difficulty in a number of ways by delivering food parcels or personal protective equipment, picking up neighbour's shopping, providing emotional, mental health and wellbeing support, collecting prescription medication or by getting in touch for a friendly chat.
The Mayor of Northampton, Councillor Brian Sergeant, said: "On behalf of Northampton Borough Council, I would like to thank everyone who has helped over the past five months volunteering and supporting our local community.
"Faced with an unprecedented pandemic, the community has risen to the challenge and we have seen fantastic displays of generosity, community spirit and dedication.
"Thousands of people have come forward to support those affected by the lockdown in a variety of ways. Our volunteers have helped thousands of people, making a real difference to their ability to stay safe and well.
"The work we have begun through the pandemic has helped form a more inclusive Northampton and we will work to maintain and strengthen that. Thank you for being such an amazing community and we hope in the not too distant future we can all come together again."
