PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(24 June 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the transport infrastructure needs of South Northamptonshire in the context of (a) the Oxford-Cambridge growth corridor and (b) the aims of the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy, published on 23 June 2025.

Asked by:
Sarah Bool (Conservative)

The Oxford-Cambridge (OxCam) Growth Corridor has been identified as a key priority for this Government with South Northamptonshire included within this corridor. Lord Vallance, appointed as the OxCam Champion, is exploring options for how best to deliver economic growth across the whole corridor, which includes considering improved transport infrastructure for the area.

South Northamptonshire’s strengths in Advanced Manufacturing, particularly around the Silverstone Technology Cluster also means it stands to benefit from measures set out in the UK’s Modern Industrial Strategy.
