I am sure all members will join me in wishing him a full and speedy recovery and a quick return to the Guildhall. On 26th March we announced that the Borough Council is working with Local Government Shared Services (LGSS), the organisation set up to share services between Northamptonshire County Council and Cambridgeshire County Council, to explore the potential of joining the partnership. LGSS was set up more than a year ago to provide a wide range of support services for both local authorities. Since the establishment of LGSS, the two founding authorities have saved £11 million and to join the partnership could pave the way for savings for Northampton Borough Council in administration and other back office costs. The Borough Council is at an early stage in negotiations with LGSS and no decision has yet been made over which services could be included in any sharing agreement. LGSS provides a full range of back-office services, including IT, HR, finance, property and asset management and other services. The Northampton Alive Roadshow meetings have started with members of the Cabinet and myself going out and speaking to the public at a series of public meetings.

  • Northampton Local Plan
    CASTELLO FORTIOR CONCORDIA NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL NORTHAMPTON LOCAL PLAN 1993-2006 ADOPTED JUNE 1997 WRITTEN STATEMENT Indicating Saved Policies as amended by the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government September 2007 David Moir Director of Environment Services June 1997 FOREWORD Northampton is rapidly developing town - fortunate in having within its boundary a blend of old and new. It combines a historic town centre, former village communities, modern housing areas and a diverse range of employers with parks and open spaces which extend right into the heart of the town. It is an environment of which we are proud. Almost thirty years ago Northampton was designated a new town and under the auspices of the Development Corporation, Northampton expanded significantly through the implementation of the Northampton Master Plan. The momentum of growth remains, but it is important to ensure that future development adds to the quality of the environment in Northampton. The adopted Local Plan forms the basis for all decisions relating to land use within the Borough. It reflects many comments and representations made during its preparation as well as taking on board the recommendations of a Planning Inspector appointed by the Department of Environment following a Public Inquiry into remaining objections. The Plan aims to guide the further expansion of Northampton. It seeks to conserve important open spaces, encourage a balanced mix of residential, business and leisure development and promote good sustainable transport initiatives. In essence it seeks to produce an environment which enhances Northampton for the benefit of all. In conclusion, I wish to pay tribute to the late Councillor Roger Alder who steered the Plan through the majority of its stages as chair of the Planning Committee.

NOTICES OF MOTION (i) Councillor Wire DL to move and Councillor Eales to second: “Labour introduced the St Crispins Street Fair in the early nineties with the assistance of both the showmen and dedicated and enthusiastic officers of the Council. It brought pleasure to thousands of local residents, children and visitors to the Town. It became one of the biggest Fairs in the Country and it has been sadly missed. The previous Tory administration presided over its demise by scrapping the event. Council calls on the Administration to reintroduce the St Crispins Street Fair and having lost so many events over the last eight years bringing the event back will reinvigorate the Town Centre. It will also be in line with the Councils ‘Love Northampton’, introducing the street fair would be a good start.” (ii) Councillor Palethorpe to move and Councillor Gowen to second: This Council is concerned that the Conservative Administration appears to be reneging on a promise by them to ‘hold a series of public meetings’ made at the last Council full meeting on 12th March 2012.

  • Corby in Its Own Words
    Corby in its own words Mary Hodgson, Claire Gordon, Nicola Bacon November 2018 Introduction This report is part of Bright Future, a project focused on industrial towns across Europe.1 In this project we’re working with a simple idea: that the common account of ‘post-industrial’ towns and their inevitable decline we find in newspapers and reports isn’t the whole picture. While a quarter of the European population live in them, industrial towns are often overlooked because of this limited viewpoint. We believe that they have a huge amount to offer. Their industrial qualities mean that people who live and work in them can share particular skill sets and characteristics as part of their heritage. Industrial towns may also have other assets in their townscapes, traditions and communities we should recognise. We think that we should work harder at understanding the experience of industrial towns, and listening to the needs and ideas of those living in them. There could also be different approaches to development for these places, distinct from those taken by larger towns and cities. These need to be considered and developed. In this short report we present a summary of the conversations we’ve had in the last year, speaking with residents and community organisations about the town. We’ve summarised general ideas and perceptions that people have shared with us on Corby. As with almost any place, people have different opinions about where they live, but some clear themes emerged from our work. About the project Bright Future is an ESRC-funded project in association with JPI- Europe, working with people in small and medium industrial towns in Europe to explore their socioeconomic characteristics, qualities and underlying resilience.
