A massive Amazon warehouse application was rejected in March 2023 due to it being the wrong development in the wrong place and attracting 2000 objections from residents and local councillors.

What You Can Do...
Object & Object Again
We need to keep objecting each time a revision is made to the application. The applicant submitted new documents in July. The deadline for objections is now regularly being extended and is currently listed on the planning portal as 23rd October 2023. However, all objections will still be considered up until the decision date (as yet unknown). Even if you have already submitted an objection, it is important that you do so again based on the revised planning documents.
Crowdfunder and Fundraising
Contribute to our Crowdfunder. We are fundraising to promote and expand our campaign and, when necessary, pay for expert advice and witnesses. This may include environment and highways consultants, legal advice and a communications plan to keep the public informed. crowdfunder.co.uk/p/stop-3000-trucks

Keep Updated on Social Media
Follow us on Facebook facebook.com/stop3000trucks, Instagram instagram.com/stop3000trucks and X / Twitter twitter.com/Stop3000Trucks to receive updates on the application.
Spread the Word
Share our Facebook page to local groups, with your friends and family and ask them to share owards with theirs. Retweet as much as possible. (you don’t have to live in West Northants to object – anyone who visits us and doesn’t like being stuck in traffic, or who just doesn’t like destruction of greenbelt areas and the wildlife that inhabit them – can object).
Download our digital flyers (below) to and share on email and social media. They have links to our website and social media platforms.
Or download our A5 Flyers (Front and Back), and A3 Posters to distribute. All have QR code links to our website and Crowdfunder.
There are 3 different flyers with maps covering different local areas, so choose the one that targets your area best.
Keep your local community updated by downloading and distributing our latest newsletter (below), either as a digital version (containing links), or to print and distribute.
