''Here is your chance for something good to be made in this wonderful open 118 acres space, located in the heart of Northampton. The home of the Northampton Balloon Festival and countless other sporting activities.

The main attraction required to my mind is adequate disabled and normal public toilet facilities. The Portable cabins used on festival days are not pleasant and are very costly to hire.

The other missing feature is a boating lake, the nearest one Billing Aquadrome is miles away.

Please read the article as they want you the public and professionals to contact them.

Always good stuff from the Chronicle and Echo,''.liamssoft

£6M revamp for Gold Street

A MASTERPLAN for the future of Northampton's Racecourse has moved a step closer, with an ambitious group of residents calling for bids from experts to pull together a map for the park's future.

The masterplan, to be funded by part of a £137,000 grant from The River Nene Regional Park, will be a foundation for all future improvements to the park and will be used to attract funding for projects to open it up to even more visitors.

Northamptonshire Racecourse Healthy Living Hub Ltd, which was set up by the Friends of Northampton Racecourse (FONR) and is overseen by a multi-agency partnership board hosted by the Chronicle & Echo, has put together a tender brief to find the best consultant to draw up a strategy for the future of the park.
