3 key regeneration areas saw
improvements including a
reduction of crime and antisocial behaviour
Kingswood (top left)
Danesholme (bottom left)
Lodge Park (right)
These are the 3 estates that have
suffered a number of issues including
crime and antisocial behaviour due to
the design of buildings and layout of
streets. They were designed using the
Radburn principles of community
living. However, this has not worked
as modern day living favours the car
rather than the pedestrian or cyclist.
The 3 Streets were demolished in
2006/7 to make way for new
development that would suit modern
life and reflect need and demand by
people living in Corby. The 3 streets
that were demolished; Lincoln Way,
Kingswood; Finland Way, Danesholme;
Arran Way, Lodge Park; were primarily
made up of flats, bed sitters and
maisonettes that suffered from a lack
of demand from residents of the
borough.
Growth of 82 new council
homes, let to the housing
