COVID-19 Press Release Date: 18.09.2020 For immediate release LRF COVID-19 Northamptonshire Press Local Resilience Forum Release Contact: [email protected] Government COVID-19 watch list: Northampton Borough and Corby Borough remain ‘areas of concern’ on the government watch list. Each week the Government reviews its weekly watch list depending on the prevalence of the Coronavirus in local authority areas. There are three levels of escalation on the watch list; ‘areas of concern,’ ‘areas of enhanced support’ and ‘areas of intervention.’ Each category enables different levels of specialist expertise and resource to be released. It is important to note that as cases rise nationally, areas which do not appear on the government watch list, may give concern locally, meaning additional guidance is recommended. This remains the case with the borough of Kettering, which was recently removed from the watch list but remains a local area of concern. This week’s surveillance report, an analysis of the recent COVID-19 cases and rates over the period 7 September - 13 September, shows that 217 residents have tested positive since last week. The current rates mean that central government is closely monitoring the situation in Northampton and Corby, and continues to keep them as ‘areas of concern’ and is seeking assurance on action being taken locally. Incidence rates per 100,000 population continue to be highest in the boroughs of Corby, Northampton, and Kettering. The county as a whole is showing an increase in cases from the previous week, however this increase has not been as high as that seen in England as a whole, so the rates of new cases in Northamptonshire are now slightly lower than the England average. Rhosyn Harris, Consultant in Public Health at Northamptonshire County Council, says: “We continue to urge residents to follow the new national guidance around the ‘Rule of six’ and continue to follow specific guidance around regular hand washing, wearing of face coverings and social distancing. “Those with Coronavirus symptoms (high temperature, continuous cough or loss of / change in sense of smell or taste), should book a test. New booking slots are available each evening for the next day and more are released each morning. Pre-booking is essential. “Despite short term challenges in national laboratory processing capacity, we have one of the highest reporting levels nationally and we are increasing the availability of testing across the county. Testing remains a key factor in enabling us to identify where there are more cases of the coronavirus in our county. This enables us to take early actions, and to provide additional guidance to residents in order to prevent a lockdown. “If you test positive, you must self-isolate for ten days – with your household isolating for 14 days - do not go to your workplace, to school or to the shops. Either work from home or report sick. Those who test positive for COVID-19 will be helped by the NHS test and trace service to identify the people they’ve recently been in contact with so they can be alerted and also self-isolate if required. Residents in Northampton, Corby and Kettering are asked to continue to follow local guidance to protect the local community and reduce transmission rates. This guidance is as follows: • Keep 2 metres from others at all times • Limit contact with anyone outside of your household or bubble • If you must meet those outside of your household or bubble, meet in an outdoor space • Do not share items with others outside of your household or bubble • If social distancing at 2 metres is not possible, always use a face covering • Avoid using public transport or car sharing - wear face coverings if you must travel with others • Wash your hands regularly and thoroughly for 20 seconds each time • Work from home if you can Tests can be booked online at nhs.uk/coronavirus or by calling 119. Home testing kits can also be ordered subject to availability.

  • Northamptonshire Conservatives Welcome Wind Farm Planning Announcement
    NORTHAMPTONSHIRE CONSERVATIVES WELCOME WIND FARM PLANNING ANNOUNCEMENT Conservative Members of Parliament in Northamptonshire and the Party’s Parliamentary Candidate for Corby & East Northamptonshire, Thomas Pursglove, have today welcomed the changes to planning law which will ensure local residents affected by wind farm proposals will actually have a proper say in whether wind turbines are sited in or near their communities. New planning guidance supporting the planning framework from DCLG will make clear that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override environmental protections and the planning concerns of local communities. It will also give greater weight to landscape and visual impact concerns. In welcoming the announcement Chris Heaton-Harris MP (Daventry), said: “If you have been involved in any local campaign to fight an inappropriately sited onshore wind farm, you will know that on every occasion local opinion is trumped at the planning appeal by national energy policy/targets. The changes announced mean that this is reversed and more weight has to be given to local opinion. From what I can gather, subsidies will also be reviewed on an annual basis. This is superb news for those fighting unwanted wind turbines across Daventry and across the whole of England. I truly believe that this announcement brings about the beginning of the end of new onshore wind turbines across England. It is extraordinarily excellent news!” Peter Bone MP (Wellingborough), said: “Conservative ministers are to be congratulated for pushing through a reform to planning regulations which will mean that when local councils turn down wind farm proposals, they will not be overturned on appeal.

Project and strategy update Green Waste We have been reviewing the interim arrangements we put in place for the disposal of green waste and looking at other options. This was to try and minimise the amount of travelling time the crews are undertaking. The current arrangements would have caused issues in the summer period as the Kettering crews would struggle to complete their rounds with the additional travelling time and we would have to provide additional resources at peak times. In addition, there are restrictions at the Corby site which means they aren’t open bank holidays which causes issues for green waste collections undertaken on these days. We are in the process of moving to a new arrangement with the green waste being tipped at Mick George, Rush- ton. It will be bulked up and moved to Theddingworth for onward processing. This site is available on bank holi- days, provides an overall cost saving and as there is a lower minimum charge on our small caged vehicles when they tip. We are just working the notice periods at the existing sites and the new arrangement will be fully in place from December 2019. Food Waste Following odour issues at the site in Corby we were using for the disposal of food waste and a visit from the Envi- ronment Agency, the operating company asked us to stop delivering food waste at short notice.
