The character of Corby
Corby's centre was largely rebuilt in the mid-twentieth century, which means wide roads and a straightforward layout compared with older Northamptonshire towns nearby. The Willow Place shopping area and the town centre bus station handle most pedestrian footfall, so cars wait on the surrounding streets rather than in the pedestrianised core. The industrial estates on the A6003 corridor have generous access roads built for HGV traffic, which makes chauffeur pickups there straightforward.
- The Willow Place shopping area is pedestrian priority; cars wait on the surrounding streets.
- Industrial estate pickups on the A6003 corridor use wide access roads built for HGV traffic.
- Rockingham event days bring a short, sharp spike in traffic on the surrounding lanes.
- Longer journeys benefit from an early departure before the A14 fills near Kettering.
