North Northamptonshire BIG50 – Shaping Our Future to 2050

The BIG50 is North Northamptonshire’s ambitious roadmap to a better tomorrow.

Looking ahead to the year 2050, this bold vision sets out the priorities, partnerships, and projects that will transform our area for generations to come. It’s about creating places where people thrive, businesses grow, and nature flourishes.

From greener transport to stronger communities, the BIG50 brings together local voices of all ages, innovation, and action—laying the foundations for a more sustainable, inclusive and successful North Northamptonshire by 2050.

Our pledges

HOW CAN
I GET
INVOLVED?

North Northamptonshire Council have been facilitating engagement events with stakeholders including the business community, education providers, retail sector, police, healthcare providers, voluntary sector organisations, and members across the political spectrum.

We want to continue this work and harness the amazing energy of our local communities to achieve great things in the future, both near and far.

The building blocks are in place, and a bold, broader vision for the area is emerging.

We will continue to work closely with stakeholders and engage with everyone as we develop the details of our action plans.
