NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that West Northamptonshire Council have made an Order the effect of which is to prohibit pedestrians, equestrians and cyclists from proceeding along those lengths of Public Bridleway HW6 (Part) and Public Footpath HW44 (Part) in Northampton as specified below. Private access to land or premises adjacent to the said lengths of bridleway and footpath are unaffected.

RIGHTS OF WAYS TO WHICH RESTRICTION APPLIES The route of footpath HW44 to be closed commences at point A on the map at National Grid Reference (NGR) SP7354 6387. The route proceeds generally west for 320 metres to terminate at point B at NGR SP7323 6387. The route of footpath HW44 to be closed is shown by a solid black line between A-B. The route of bridleway HW6 to be closed commences at point C at NGR SP7333 6379 and proceeds generally northwest for 132 metres to point B at NGR SP7323 6387.

The route of bridleway HW6 to be closed is shown by a solid black line between C-B-D.

REASONS FOR RESTRICTION: The restriction is required in the interest of health and safety due to development construction works. The permanent diversion cannot yet come into force as the surfacing works on HW44 have not yet been completed.

PERIOD OF CLOSURE: The Order will come into effect on 11th September 2025 and will continue in force for a period of six months. An application may be made for the approval of the Secretary of State for Transport for this Order to be extended if this proves necessary. However, the restriction specified will have effect only at such times and to such extent as is indicated by the display of notices.

ALTERNATIVE ROUTES: The alternative route will be signed on site and may vary as development progresses.
