Personal Rapid Transport System

Future Transport for Daventry

Following our Annual Town Meeting in April when over 100 residents attended and voiced their opposition to the proposed POD transport system, the Town council resolved to hold a Public Meeting. The purpose of the meeting was to allow members of the public to raise questions and receive information on how Daventry District Council’s proposed PRT plans would benefit the residents of Daventry.

However, following a recent statement by the DDC confirming that proposals for a futuristic Personal Rapid Transport System have been put on hold, the Town Council agreed this negates a need for a public meeting and resolved to defer holding a Public Meeting at this time.

The Town Council have further resolved to work in partnership with the DDC, NCC and WNDC and be actively involved in discussions on future public transport options for Daventry Town.

Further details will be available in the Autumn edition of our newsletter.

Representing the community

As community representatives, we are mindful of the need to involve communities in schemes that directly affect them. People need to be fully and properly informed at an early stage, in order to test out public acceptability, prevent wasteful expenditure, and shape schemes around their needs and aspirations.

Keeping you informed

If you feel strongly about future advanced passenger systems, either in support or opposition, please keep an eye on this website and the press as the Town Council has resolved to hold a public meeting in the very near future.

Further details on the proposed PRT scheme can be found on Daventry District Council’s website.

Please note – this meeting is a neutral event simply intended to facilitate open discussion of a topic that has prompted many comments.
