Residents have been campaigning for a bypass for a Northamptonshire village for more than 20 years.
People in a village promised a bypass for almost 20 years will get a chance have their say on the current plans for the road.Last year, North Northamptonshire Council accepted £1.8m from the government for the scheme.
Graham Lawman from the authority said it would be "a significant benefit to the local community and drivers".An in-person event is being held at Isham village hall, as well as one in Wellingborough next month. The planned route for the bypass will start from the new Symmetry Park roundabout, which is being built south of junction 9 on the A14.
It will run west of Isham and re-join the A509 Kettering Road midway between Hill Top and Great Harrowden.The village, with a population of about 800, is on a busy route between Wellingborough and Kettering Mr Lawman, Conservative executive member for highways, travel and assets, said: "The council is committed to ensuring local knowledge and feedback is considered and used to help inform the scheme planning."A route for a bypass was first proposed by the now defunct Northamptonshire County Council in 2003.Find BBC News: East of England on
