The former Wellingborough prison site has not been sold.

A clerical error was made in the local press release issued on behalf of the Cabinet Office in relation to two former prison officers' quarters sold near Wellingborough. The word ‘by’ was accidentally removed so it then read ‘sold HMP Wellingborough’. The local media were informed as soon as the error was identified.
