Situated approximately four miles west of Kettering off the A43 trunk road to Northampton , Broughton wastewater treatment works required extensive improvements to meet the demands of projected local infrastructure growth from the villages of Broughton and nearby Cransley with new flows to be received from Mawsley. In addition, the works are to meet revised consent limits to final effluent quality complying with River Needs Consent (RNC) requirements and storm overflow discharges to Asset Management Plan (AMP).
