River Ise Partnership
An ambitious, large-scale programme to enhance the quality of the Valley’s natural environment, strengthen its natural capital and develop its ecosystem services.
Our Vision is to ensure that the Ise Valley plays a central role in North Northamptonshire’s sustainable and economic prosperity; that its landscape character and sense of place are regarded as equally important as the economy and valued every bit as much as our planned growth.
Key Aims:
- Develop a River Ise Linear Park that creates links and pathways for people and wildlife and augments connectivity from Wellingborough through Kettering and to Corby.
- Mitigate climate change and facilitate adaptation to climate change.
- Contribute to natural flood management.
- Minimise impacts on the catchment and provide net gains for biodiversity.
- Improve water quality.
- Create new green infrastructure (GI) as well as protect and enhance existing GI.
- Seek opportunities to develop sustainable tourism that creates socioeconomic benefits for communities through employment and income-earning opportunities.

This partnership first came together in October 2019 through a collective interest in the River Ise Catchment and has since become a working group of the Nene Valley Catchment Partnership (NVCP).
Members of the partnership agreed to invest their time and ideas and, where appropriate, resources to investigate, identify and propose future opportunities for the greater good of the catchment. The group will act to secure funding to support the delivery of initiatives and have an influence on local policies and priorities. The group will report to the NVCP, on request, ahead of their quarterly catchment partnership meeting.
