Northampton Community Safety Partnership Consultation 2011/12: Summary Report Northampton Community Safety Partnership Consultation 2011/12: Summary Report Context Each year the Community Safety Partnership is required to conduct a strategic assessment of crime and disorder issues in Northampton in order to decide what issues the partnership will prioritise the following year. The assessment is informed by a range of data from various partners which is found below:- • iQuanta – Home Office Database • Northamptonshire Police • Northampton Borough Council • Northamptonshire County Council • Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Services • Northamptonshire NHS • NorDaF (Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Forum) • Northamptonshire DAAT • Northamptonshire Probation Trust • Department for Communities and Local Government • Office for National Statistics • Northampton voluntary organisations • The Residents of Northampton As part of the strategic assessment, the partnership identifies the key priorities from analysis of the data provided by the above sources. Following this, consultation with local people is required to ensure the partnership takes the views of the community into account when developing strategic plans for the following year. The results of this consultation are then fed back into the strategic assessment in order to finalise the partnership priorities. Method Two public consultation events were held in Northampton on the 15 th November 2011 in The Grosvenor Centre and the 18 th November 2011 in Weston Favell Shopping Centre. This year, it was also decided to make the questionnaire available to complete online via the NBC website using ‘surveymonkey.com’ to host the questionnaire. This was made available for the maximum period available under the time constraints, which was a 5 week period from 08/11/11 to 13/12/11. A link to the questionnaire was sent out to the Northampton residents’ panel via e-mail prompting individuals to take part, as well as social media notifications to youth forum members. 210 paper copies were given to Policy & Community Engagement and 100+ paper copies to Neighbourhood Management team. Questionnaire The consultation comprised of three questions and a section to record respondents’ residential location, gender, age and ethnicity. The first question Northampton Community Safety Partnership Consultation 2011/12: Summary Report asked respondents to rank six community safety issues which had been highlighted from the strategic analysis in order of their greatest concern. The second question asked the respondents to do the same for three out of seven types of anti-social behaviour (ASB). This was included because ASB is often highlighted as of great public concern but due to the broad nature of ASB, it is difficult to ascertain what exactly is concerning to people. Finally, a third town- centre-specific question was included. This question was a replication of a question used by Northamptonshire Police during a street briefing exercise on town centre police priorities. The reason for including this question was to gauge the success of partnership action against street drinking and begging/vagrancy in the town centre. The findings of this question was not considered when finalising 2012/13 priorities but is reviewed in this report and will be referred back to at an operational level. A copy of the questionnaire can be found in appendix A. Sample A total of 433 people completed the consultation questionnaire overall. The table below shows a breakdown of this.

Project Angel Plans were approved in May 2014 to transform derelict land in the heart of Northampton into a new iconic headquarters and office building for Northamptonshire County Council, saving tax payers millions of pounds and generating a massive cash injection to the town centre economy. The building is due to open in autumn 2016 and bring 2,000 workers back into the town centre and the sod cutting ceremony took place on 10th February.

Plans were approved in July 2014 and the new campus is due to open in 2018. Work commenced in December 2013 on a new Innovation Centre opposite the Railway Station which will provide premises for up to 60 small and start-up businesses and enhance the Enterprise Zone offer for the town. The Innovation Centre will open this spring. In March 2014 the new Halls of Residence opened at St John’s bringing 464 students to live in the town centre and making Northampton a true University town Sixfields The Administration worked with Northampton Town Football Club to facilitate the redevelopment of Sixfields Stadium and the surrounding area with a £12 million loan deal which was announced in July 2013.

  • Northamptonshire Past & Present: Volume 5, No 4, 1976
    NOR THAMPTONS ~HIRE'~~ PAST & PRESENT ~nqitnt and MODERN . .. large or small. Fine building is synonymous with Robert Marriott Ltd., a member of the Robert Marriott Group, famous for quality building since 1890. In the past 80 years Marriotts have established a reputation for meticulous craftsmanship on the largest and small­ est scales. Whether it is a £7,000,000 housing contract near Bletchley, a new head­ quarters for Buckinghamshire County Council at Aylesbury (right) or restor­ ation and alterations to Easton Maudit Church (left) Marriotts have the experi­ ence, the expertise and the men to carry out work of the most exacting standards and to a strict schedule. In the last century Marriotts made a name for itself by the skill of its crafts­ men employed on restoring buildings of great historical importance. A re­ markable tribute to the firm's founder, the late Mr. Robert Marriott was paid in 1948 by Sir Albert Richardson, later President of the Royal Academy, when he said: "He was a master builder of the calibre of the Grimbolds and other famous country men. He spared no pains and placed ultimate good before financial gain. No mean craftsman him­ self, he demanded similar excellence from his helpers." Three-quarters of a century later Marriotts' highly specialised Special Projects Division displays the same inherent skills in the same delicate work on buildings throughout the Midlands. To date Hatfield House, Long Melford Hall in Suffolk, the Branch Library at Earls Barton, the restoration of Castle Cottage at Higham Ferrers, Fisons Ltd., Cambridge, Greens Norton School, Woburn Abbey restorations and the Falcon Inn, Castle Ashby, all bear witness to the craftsmanship of Marriotts.

  • 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.
