Daventry District Council Councillors are renowned for ignoring their voters in the town because most of them don't live here and are voted in by people who also don't live here. Have your say now and vote in our surveys on important local issues.

Daventry Canal Arm & Marina

DDC are seeking over £13M of funding to build a canal arm extension into the town where they plan to build a Marina complex. It is "hoped" this will attract canal boats and tourists.

No-one it seems has bothered to ask the canal boaters if they would spend a day travelling through 12 locks to visit Daventry. If they don't come then the project will become an expensive monument to the stupidity of DDC.

Daventry Expansion

Daventry is a small market town tucked away in Northamptonshire which is surrounded on all sides by the best type of English rolling countryside. The town has limited capacity to expand without destroying its surroundings and the very essence of itself. Council leader Chris Millar is behind the plan to build houses over the countryside surrounding Daventry leading to a rapid and unsustainable doubling of the size of the town. This is likely to lead to local unemployment, a further depression in local house prices and traffic chaos on the local rural roads.

The proposed Personal Rapid Transport System

The planned doubling of the population of Daventry will lead to huge problems. For a start the town will be short of thousands of parking spaces which will lead to the town centre being choked with traffic and actively avoided by shoppers. The Council Leader, Chris Millar's solution to this is a Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) system which would feature electric vehicles without drivers travelling around the town on a 55-mile track.

Is this suitable for a small market town? Will the PODS be used as personal urinals giving new meaning to "Peas in a Pod"? Have your say on the survey below!

Daventry expansion will involve surrounding the Country Parkwith houses and turning it into an urban pond or a Wildlife Park without wildlife. Does this matter or is this the inevitable price of progress? Vote below!
