  • Annual Parish Meeting Minutes April 2015
    EVENLEY PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of the Evenley Parish Council Annual Meeting held on Monday 20th April 2015 at 7:30pm in the Village Hall. Present: Alan Thornhill (Chair), Jean Morgan, Jackie Fox, Jill Kelly, Mike Bosher, Michael Genner, Kirsty Buttle (Clerk), County Cllr Ron Sawbridge, District Cllr John Townsend, Helen Howard (Northamptonshire Highways), Chris Wragg (Northamptonshire Highways), Kay Baul (Evenley Residents Association). Also present were 22 parishioners. 1. Apologies - Apologies were received from Keith Cousins, Kevin O’Reagan, Carrie O’Reagan. Mike Bosher will be late. 2. Minutes of previous Annual Parish Meeting held on 7th April 2014 were approved. 3. Matters arising – No matters were raised. 4. Report from Cllr Ron Sawbridge, Northamptonshire County Council - The present method of the council providing services is no longer sustainable; it can’t keep on reducing costs by improving efficiency in the way it has done over the last few years. Costs of the base budget have already been reduced by £200m and they still have to reduce by a further £148m over the next five years. A continuation of the present method of providing services would drastically reduce the quality to an unacceptable level. The council will need to become a much smaller organisation commissioning other agencies to carry out activities to help the council achieve its goals for residents. The County Council will dramatically reduce the number of employees down to around 250, commissioning services from a federation of organisations including private businesses, Social Enterprises, Mutuals, Council owned companies, and Charities. The intention will be to transfer as many existing staff as is possible to the new providers.

Such was their enthusiasm that the work has expanded into looking at other aspects, notably the Roll of Honour of Old Boys of Helmdon School Who Served in the First World War. First published in 2014, this 2016 update includes newly discovered facts and stories. The most relevant, up-to-date information available has been put together and can be printed off as a booklet. It is to be hoped that it will not only add to the history of Helmdon but that it will go some way to honour the great sacrifice made by those village servicemen. The authors apologise that some entries do not contain as much detail as others; available records are not always fruitful.

  • Preliminary Report on the Archaeological Investigations at Northampton Road, Brackley, Northamptonshire
    Albion Archaeology Preliminary report on the archaeological investigations at Northampton Road, Brackley, Northamptonshire Photo1: Aerial view of the Northampton Road development area from south Introduction Between June and October 2014 Albion Archaeology undertook open-area excavation in advance of mixed-use development by Albion Land plc on land off Northampton Road, Brackley. An area of c. 3ha was excavated divided into two main parts of unequal size, exposing an unenclosed middle Iron Age settlement. The main part of the settlement extended over c. 1.6ha and was in the northern excavation area, possibly continuing beyond the limit of the development area (see figure at the back of this report). It was characterised by roundhouses, ditched enclosures, post-built structures and an abundance of storage pits. Similar features were found to the south and in the southern excavation area, although these were smaller in number and occurred in a much lower density than in the main settlement area. Roundhouses Evidence for c. 20 roundhouses was identified. They were defined by pennanular gullies with E-facing entrances. The area defined by the gullies ranged from 8–15m in diameter, whilst the gullies themselves were generally shallow and only a few had been redug. The majority of the gullies are assumed to have served a drainage function with no structural slots associated with the outer walls being identified. Preliminary report on the archaeological investigations at Northampton Road, Brackley, Northants 1 (Mike Luke, Jo Barker and Iain Leslie. Albion report 2016-66) Albion Archaeology Many contained postholes which may have provided roof support or internal divisions.
