  • Roade Parish Council
    Roade Parish Council Roade Parish Council has an immediate vacancy for a Parish Clerk & RFO. Roade is a large village in South Northamptonshire with a current population of around 2,750; the current precept is £109,582. Situated 2 miles south of the M1 Junction 15, the village is located on the A508 between Northampton and Milton Keynes, with good public transport links including hourly bus services to both. The village is vibrant and growing; it is home to The Elizabeth Woodville Secondary School, Roade Primary School, Nurseries and Pre-schools, Medical Centre, Post Office, a popular village pub and a variety of shops and businesses as well as over 40 clubs and societies. For all of these reasons, South Northants Council designates the village as ‘one of the 4 most sustainable villages in South Northamptonshire’. By the end of this year, some 400 new homes will have been built in the village leading to an influx of new residents, many with young families. In response to the changing demands, a neighbourhood Development Plan has recently been completed and adopted by SNC following a 95% ‘yes’ vote at the village Referendum in June of this year. As a result of the housing development, the Parish Council receives very considerable s.106 and CIL income and the nearby Roade Wind Farm also provides an annual payment of circa £10,000 from its Community Fund. The Secretary of State for Transport is shortly to determine a Planning Application for a Strategic Rail Freight Interchange at M1 Junction 15. The proposal includes the provision of a by-pass for Roade, so there is the potential for further significant income.

  • Notes for Members for Use at Annual Parish Meetings 2019
    1 Annual Meeting Notes Notes for Members for use at Annual Parish Meetings 2019 A Great Place to Live South Northants District continues to be ranked as one of the better places to live in the country. Unemployment is one of the lowest in the country although SNC runs a job club to help anyone get back into work. The waste and recycling record is one of which we remain proud and is the best in the County. But lost among all of that we had a successful year as SNC, the Brackley Pool was opened, we had visit from HRH Prince Harry to Silverstone, we had a successful commemoration lunch to mark the 100th anniversary of the ending of WW1. We also held dinners to celebrate the sporting achievements of Mercedes Formula 1 team who won for the 5th successive year, and we celebrated the success of Brackley Town FC who won a fairy tale final at Wembley to bring on the FA Trophy. As we move forward with LGR we are holding regular Parish & Town Clerks Forums, with alternate Forums including PC Chairmen. Local Government Reform (LGR) The past year has been dominated by the events at NCC dealing with the fallout from it. As we began the new municipal year in 2018 NCC had just issued a Section 114 Notice, the local government equivalent of a bankruptcy notice. Max Caller had reported in his opinion Best Value was not being satisfied and that such was the mess at NCC it was not possible to recover this in a sensible time period and concluded that the best thing to do was to have two new unitary councils.

It is the intention of Shutlanger Village Hall Management Committee (SVHMC) to comply with all health and safety legislation and to act positively where it can reasonably do so to prevent injury, ill health or any danger arising from its activities and operations. SVHMC considers the promotion of the health and safety of its employees at work and those who use its premises, including contractors who may work there, to be of great importance. The management committee recognises that the effective prevention of accidents depends as much on a committed attitude of mind to safety as on the operation and maintenance of equipment and safe systems of work. To this end, it will seek to encourage employees, committee members and users to engage in the establishment and observance of safe working practices. Employees, hirers and visitors will be expected to recognise that there is a duty on them to comply with the practices set out by the committee, with all safety requirements set out in the hiring agreement and with safety notices on the premises and to accept responsibility to do everything they can to prevent injury to themselves or others.
