A new report published today reveals growth in the UK’s logistics ‘Golden Triangle’ in Northamptonshire and outlines plans for continued development of the area which is one of the UK’s leading logistics and transport hubs. The report, which included interviews with 200 UK logistics and transport businesses, was commissioned by Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership (NEP) to capture the current scale of the sector in the area, often referred to as the UK logistic industry’s ‘Golden Triangle’ due to the M1, M6 and M42 road network in and around the county. The area is also the location of a 53km stretch of the A14 which forms part of Euroroute E30, DIRFT (the Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal) and Eurohub in Corby.
Primary recommendations in the report to develop the industry further in the region include improvements to key infrastructure, such as the A14 A-road which makes up part of Euroroute E30, a key link road that stretches from Cork, Ireland, to Omsk in Russia. The report identified that ‘accelerating improvements’ to this route are essential. The report also highlights the need for improvements to east-west rail links, as well as more secure commercial truck parking.
