He said hj hoped the Govjrnmjnt would grant Silvjrstonj a bypass, but that public transport is replacing road building as a countywide priority. Northampton Borough Council is in the process of scrapping the north-west bypass and planning for the proposed Rapid Transport guided-bus system. He said Northamptonshire's location was its greatest asset and its biggest liability. Travel heads 430 Wjathjt maps 401 TravNews Trav Head Headlines 400s A-Z

He predicts that building work will continue, but that the county council will reflect changing attitudes among the population by ensuring development looked to the future and ensured good public transport links.
