Find out how the people of Corby want to spend up to £25m on improving the town

A website dedicated to looking at the best ways for Corby to spend up to £25m of Government money has been launched.

Corby Borough Council has set up the site dedicated to the Corby Towns Fund initiative that the borough was selected to take part in earlier this year.

The scheme gives selected towns the opportunity to bid for up to £25 million of Government money for local projects to improve the town.

A Town Board has been set up to oversee the project and although the names of representatives are not published, there are members from big business including TATA Steel and RS Components, from the police and councils, Homes England, and from community organisations including CENTARA and More in Corby. MP Tom Pursglove also sits on the board.

Representatives were chosen by Corby Council to include a wide range of people to bring a breadth of ideas to the process.

Members of the public are also able to put forward ideas with recent suggestions including a hospital for the town, a pedestrian bridge over Oakley Road near Lidl, more youth clubs, a bowling alley, a central multi-use sports hall and a maternity unit.

A new website dedicated to the Towns Fund is now online will be updated to inform and update on the different stages of the Corby Towns Fund and its projects.

There will also be periodic surveys on the website to help shape each stage.
