One-way system (Gladstone Street / Nichols Street)

One-way system (Gladstone Street / Nichols Street)

At long last the one way system covering Gladstone Street and Nichols Street is (substantially) complete (some road markings are still to be painted).

Traffic from Harborough Road turning into Nichols Street now turns right into Gladstone Street and back onto Harborough Road.  Traffic from Station Road/Rushton Road (big Co-op roundabout) turning into Gladstone Street is no longer be able to drive along Nichols Street to get to Harborough Road and instead follows the length of Gladstone Street to Harborough Road.

Although funded by the Town Council the works (including the formal consultation) were carried out by the Highways Authority (North Northamptonshire Council).  The changes were made in January 2024 at a cost of £76,532.39.
