Weedon Gas Works Scam Alert: Telephone cold calls claiming to be from ‘Amazon’ regarding ‘the iPhone 7 ordered on your account’ (November 2020) We are again warning residents to be on their guard for telephone cold calls claiming to be from ‘Amazon’. A resident received an automated call which stated, ‘The iPhone 7 ordered on your Amazon account at the cost of £399.99 is about to be dispatched’. The call then stated that you could ‘press 1 to cancel this order’. These calls are a scam and are not connected with Amazon in any way. If you receive this or a similar call our advice is do not interact with the call, do not give or confirm any information and hang up. In previous reports, where residents have interacted with recorded message calls, they have then been connected to a person who attempts to gather personal, account or financial details. If you experience this or similar, please report it to Action Fraud and make friends and relatives aware: https://www.actionfraud.police.uk/reporting-fraud-and-cyber-crime Contractors are also going around the village offering to clear your gutters, please don’t feel pressured to agree to work being carried out without checking out the contractor beforehand. If you are receiving regular unwanted calls, you can speak to your phone provider and ask about options to protect your phone. They can offer options such as caller authen- tication steps, ex-directory options, new phone numbers and call blockers. You can also look to block numbers directly on your phone.

  • The Open Fields of Northamptonshire
    Appendix Open-field records, accumulating over many centuries, have revealed a wide range of inter-related themes. Combined use of the information from field books and furlong plans reconstructed by archaeological field-survey, have made it possible to identify fields, 'furlongs and meadows enabling detailed studies of township structures to be made~ The economy of the fields falls into the three natural topographical regional types of the county; the Soke of Peterborough with its fen, the vills of the medieval forests, and the extensive champagne region lying along the Nene Valley and in the west. The Soke and the forest vills had good resources of fuel and grazing and did not experience the extreme difficulties of the west. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and especially after 1570, the champagne region converted arable to leys and cow pasture, so improving the amount of fodder and grazing available. This did not occur in the fen and forest regions; there were no leys among the arable, and animals were allowed on the fallow only to manure it, not because they needed rough grazing. Champagne townships not too distant from forests sometimes had detached parts to provide woodland and woodland -pasture resources. Northamptonshire townships were mainly two-field in the 13th century, changing continuously until almost all places operated a three-course tilth by the 18th century. More than three fields occurred in many vills after 1500, although they were usually grouped into three blocks for cropping. Forest vills often had multiple fields, probably caused byassarting. The ability of townships to change is illustrated by those uniting to form new and larger arrangements as at Barnack and Weedon Bec, where two townships were united.

    National Character 89: Northamptonshire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 89: Northamptonshire Vales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.
