Traditional industries may have disappeared, but Northampton has attracted high-quality companies – such as Carlsberg and Barclaycard - because of its central location and proximity to both London and the Midlands. The wider county has become a magnet for logistics and distribution businesses for the same reason.
Here we examine how town and county have fared during the downturn and look for areas of growth. Meanwhile, Corby is reinventing itself and has a brand new railway station as a symbol of that reinvention. We look at its prospects of success. And there are ambitious plans for housing growth in Wellingborough, based on excellent links to London from the town. How have its plans been affected by the recession?
