It is now April 2024 and the opening date of the new Sandy Lane is still not known despite numerous requests to the developer and West Northamptonshire Council for one. The road is still not ready and the initial planned route via the 'Road to Nowhere' looks doomed. So, how will lorries and cars now access the roundabout on the A4500? Via the old Sandy Lane past the houses whose occupants thought this would be a thing of the past.
From Duston Parish Council's Facebook page, 2nd April 2024:
'Today, we've received several enquiries regarding the current status of the ongoing works on the Sandy Lane closure. we have contacted West Northamptonshire Council for information, but clarity on the reopening timeline remains elusive. We're committed to seeking further clarification and will be sending an email today to pursue this matter. We'll keep you updated as soon as new information becomes available.'

Stay tuned for the developers providing the local centre, retail & school as on the Norwood proposal plans we all received. Hope they stay trading long enough to do the right thing!

Yes, doubtful, they can’t even build a road properly! 🤣

Great video, it's good to get an aerial view of what we don't have access to. Did I see the new Doctor's Surgery?

@clarebabes 3 ай бұрын

No surgery, but you may be able to spot the queue of people waiting for appointments already, let alone when these houses are built 😭

Another good video can not understand why the national news has not picked this up given the length of time this road has been closed why is Northampton council not looking into this

@clarebabes 3 ай бұрын

Honestly I think they just don’t have the backbone, I’d rather think that than the alternative: that they just don’t care.

Sure an article on line from the BBC about sandy lane thay said it probably won't open until June its all seems very strange whats going on first its on open due to a disputed bit of private land now saying about the developers finishing the road to nowhere none of which should affect reopening sandy lane thay can continue to dispute the private land the road to nowhere has been like it is for the last fifteen years or thay say it needs safety checks the developers gave a time for opening so should have done safety checks before that date so what is really going on all a bit strange

Half the road is missing just outside Norwood House. So even though most of it is complete, this would need traffic lights 🤦‍♀️

Yes of course, we need more publicity on the state of this!

The WNC have stopped the relief road from opening due to 'Unauthorised Works' in the construction process so this could take a while to resolve sadly 🙃

@clarebabes 3 ай бұрын

Yes, I'd love to know what these unauthorised works were, and since when has any developer done anything for the benefit of residents - which is WNC's excuse. Terrible situation!

@@clarebabes believe this goes back to a piece of land the Council had not purchased and now the legal landowner has had the work surveyed and found it does not exactly match what was in the plans ..... 🙃
