LOCAL AREA INFORMATION

The majority of businesses and amenities are located on the old Roman road through the town, Watling Street. This lively centre contains a variety of old buildings, many of which have Grade II listed status. Newer development has expanded the town, which has a population of over 10,000. Towcester Racecourse, lying in beautiful parkland overlooking Northamptonshire countryside, draws visitors to the town on its regular race meetings. Other places of interest include Towcester Museum, Bury Mount, the Norman Church of St Lawrence, the Town Hall and Chantry House. The town has good road links to the A5, A43, M1 and M40 and access to mainline railway stations at Northampton and Milton Keynes.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
