Central to the delivery of the vision is the shared commitment of partners to delivering the regeneration aspirations. Partners including the Borough and County Council, the North Northants Development Company, Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership, the Highways Agency, the Health Trust, the Police and Highways Agency are all working closely together to help deliver the shared vision. Planning policies have been put in place to support the delivery of the vision and a phased approach to development is taking place.
The first major phase of development is now complete with the development of a new restaurant quarter to complement the award winning Market Place at the heart of the town. A programme of improvement works has enhanced the look and feel of the public space around the Market Place. With a clear vision for the towns future major retailers considering moving to Kettering have the opportunity to input into the future look and feel of the town.
Importantly, land has been acquired at key sites to aid development and agents have been appointed to identify potential tenants. The aim is for work to start soon on the second major phase of regeneration with the development of a new shopping quarter at the centre of the town.
