Work is planned to start on Monday 1st September 2025, and we expect to complete early 2026.
To complete our work safely, we’ll work overnight using a combination of full closures and lane closures to reduce disruption. Our work at this location will also include a series of weekend closures. Further updates will be provided at the earliest opportunity.
Traffic Management
We do require two full weekend closures that are currently planned for eastbound in October and westbound in January 2026, exact dates will be confirmed in due course. Throughout this time, we’ll close the road from 8pm on Friday to 6am on Monday morning. These are required for the installations of the new expansion
Traffic will be diverted along the A6/A45 between A14 junctions 10 and 13 when closures are in affect.
Access for emergency service vehicles will be maintained throughout.
We’ll make every effort to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum. We always aim to work to the programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.
Please accept our apologies in advance for any inconvenience this may cause.

North Northamptonshire Council Residents’ Satisfaction Survey 2025
Residents of North Northamptonshire are being asked to have their say on what they think of the services the Council provides. Residents feedback will help us shape our future priorities.
The survey covers general areas such as how satisfied with the area people are; whether they are kept well informed and if they think the Council offers value for money. Further questions also cover satisfaction with specific service areas the authority provides such as waste collections, parks and green spaces and road maintenance.
This survey closes at 23.59, 27 Jul 2025.
Following the resignation of Councillor Paterson, who has moved from Stanwick for family reasons, there is a vacancy on the Parish Council.
Please see the formal notice given below
The Parish Council is delighted that its nominee for an Award has been successful. Congratualtions to Richard. Thank you for all that you do for Stanwick.
Highways England have advised:
We’ll be carrying out a replacement of the bridge joints to provide a smoother, safer carriageway for road users which also reduces the need for further maintenance in the near future.
When will this work take place?
We’ll be carrying out work between from Monday 4 August 2025 to November 2025.
To carry out this work safely, we’ll install a mixture of lane closures and full closures, which has been designed to minimise the disruption to the travelling public. These works will be completed mainly overnight, however, due to the type of works and for safety reasons, some works will require extended hours closures and full weekend closures.
Public information event
Before the scheme starts, we’ll be holding a public information event where you can meet our team, find out more and ask any questions.
Our engagement van will be parked at the Co-op in Oundle Road, Thrapston, NN14 4PD from 11am to 6pm on Tuesday 22 July 2025.
Traffic Management
We’ll be installing average speed cameras on the A14 which will remain throughout the duration of our works.
We’ll start work on the eastbound carriageway from 4 August to early October then move to the westbound carriageway until scheme completion later in the winter.
Most of the work will be carried out using overnight closures of the A14, one carriageway at a time, from 9pm to 5am, unless otherwise stated.
Traffic management will include
Our first planned traffic management will be a week of overnight full closures of the eastbound carriageway starting on Tuesday 5 August followed by a week of overnight full closures on the westbound carriageway.
Our website will be kept updated with the latest information throughout the scheme and can be found here. https://nationalhighways.co.uk/our-roads/east-midlands/
What does this mean for you?
During the closures, a fully signed diversion will be in place.

Should we join up the double yellow lines on Church Street in front of the Church?
The Parish Council has received a request from Northants Parking Enforcement that double yellow lines are considered on Church Street, between the main gate of the Church and the steps on the eastern side of the church grounds to join up the double yellow lines on that side of the road. This would allow them to ticket drivers that park on the path.
The Northants Highways Liaison advised via email that official funeral vehicles and official wedding vehicles would be exempt from the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) providing the driver remained with the vehicle.
Before the Parish Council makes a decision on whether to request that double yellow lines are installed, it would like to consider the views of residents and businesses that will be most directly affected. A letter has been delivered to the premises most likely to be affected. If you are not within the consultation area but would like to respond, please down load the consultation reply form below:
We would be grateful if you could complete and return the response sheet by the 6th September 2024.
This can be via email, delivered to the above address or dropped off at the village hall. The Parish Office, in the village hall, is open most weekday mornings, or it can be lid under the door of the office.
Please complete this surveys so the local police team know what to prioritise.
