Please do not put others at risk on Mothering Sunday or any other day, even if one or both of you have received one or both doses of the vaccine. It won’t be long before we can meet in gardens or outdoors as a household or group of six but until then please just meet one other adult outdoors at distance. On Mothering Sunday the rules allow for you to meet your mum on a bench at distance for a drink in the local park or any outdoor space. If we all continue to play our part, and only if, will we be that bit closer to a future that is more familiar. • Despite specific easing of measures this week, residents of Northamptonshire and across England must continue to ‘Stay at Home, Protect the NHS and Save Lives’ until March 29th. You may only leave the house for limited reasons permitted in law. This rule applies regardless of St Patricks’ Day on March 17th or any other day or occasion which requires celebrations, apart from weddings and funerals. • People who are clinically extremely vulnerable, NHS staff and carers who have not yet been vaccinated against Covid-19, are being urged to contact the NHS to arrange a jab. It’s not too late to get the jab even if you originally decided not to have it and have now changed your mind. For those who are eligible, the easiest way to arrange a vaccination is through the national booking service which can be accessed at www.nhs.uk/covid- vaccination. The system allows patients to choose a time slot and location which suits them. Anyone unable to book online can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week. Many who have not yet booked an appointment are already receiving follow up letters and phone calls this week to encourage them to take up the offer of a jab. 4 Keep your Distance • As the weather improves it’s important to remember to keep your distance from others while exercising outdoors. 2 Metres 5 Rapid COVID-19 Testing • Six COVID-19 Rapid Testing Centres are open in Northamptonshire for key workers who are not showing symptoms of COVID-19. Further sites across the county will open over the coming weeks. • The community based testing sites are at: • Danes Camp Leisure Centre, Northampton • Lodge Park Sports Centre and Hazelwood Neighbourhood Centre, Corby • Brackley Leisure Centre, South Northamptonshire • Redwell Leisure Centre, Wellingborough • The University of Northampton, Northampton - restricted to use by students and university staff only from Monday 8th March • The test is called a Lateral Flow Test and involves a swab of the mouth and nose and provides a result within 30 minutes. • The aim of testing people who do not have COVID-19 symptoms is to identify those who may be infectious without being aware in order to reduce spread of the virus. If positive, the test means you are infectious and must start self-isolating at home immediately and complete 10 days of self-isolation. • The test does not tell you if you are COVID-free so all COVID-secure measures must be exercised even if you get a negative result. You must continue to follow COVID guidelines and remember to wash your hands, wear a face covering indoors and maintain a 2m distance from others. • Testing slots must be booked online in advance and priority is given to workers in the following sectors: Health or social care, transportation, education or childcare (if not receiving regular rapid tests via the workplace), essential shops, supermarkets or financial services, food production or processing, warehousing, packing or distribution, essential public sector services including waste, bin collections, security, construction, utilities or communications and agency workers. It is advisable for those people working in these sectors to take up the opportunity to get tested on a weekly basis to help to reduce the spread of the virus. • Information leaflets at the sites are available in English, Lithuanian and Romanian, Russian and Polish. 6 Got Symptoms? Get Tested • To find out more information about local testing sites visit: Northamptonshire COVID-19 Testing Update. • Tests can be booked online at NHS COVID-19 or by calling 119. Home testing kits can also be ordered subject to availability. • It is vital that when you leave the house to be tested you must go straight to the testing centre and return home immediately to self- isolate until you get your results. 7 Total and Weekly Summary A total of 45,848 positive cases have been identified in Northamptonshire to date.

  • 89: Northamptonshire Vales Area Profile: Supporting Documents
    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.

In particular I would like to acknowledge the work of Cllr Kate Cross who stood down in February after four years of sterling service and to welcome Cllr Alison Freestone, who has been co-opted in her place. Local Government Reform Following the dire financial situation that Northamptonshire County Council found itself in last year and the issuing of a Section 114 notice severely constraining its expenditure, the Government has consulted on the proposal that local government in Northamptonshire should be re-structured into two unitary authorities. In early May the Secretary of State announced that, ‘in the best interests of the residents of Northamptonshire’ two brand new unitary Councils will be created on 1 April 2021 and Northamptonshire County Council and the existing district and borough councils will be abolished.
