We want to know that animals are raised in free range conditions, that the processes used to create the end product are natural and sustainable; and that the lowest number of ‘food miles’ possible are involved in the transportation of these products by road or air before they reach our plate. This desire to know more about our food over recent years has resulted in the rise of the ‘slow food’ movement, which champions seasonal food that is locally produced using traditional, sustainable methods and free range, organic ingredients. Promoting these values across South Northamptonshire is an army of entrepreneurial people who are passionate about the food and drink they produce and sell. You will meet them at farmers’ markets and farm shops, in village butchers, delicatessens and community shops and in our restaurants, pubs and tea rooms. From them you will be able to purchase a vast range of delicious meats, fruits, vegetables, deli products, breads, preserves and Where to Eat and Drink chocolate, not to mention fine wines, traditional ales and cider.

  • EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016
    MINUTES OF THE DECISIONS OF THE COMMISSION ON THE INITIAL PROPOSALS FOR THE EAST MIDLANDS REGION - Wednesday 8 June 2016 Session 1: Wednesday 8 June 2016 Present: David Elvin QC, Commissioner Neil Pringle, Commissioner Sam Hartley, Secretary to the Commission Tony Bellringer, Deputy Secretary to the Commission Tim Bowden, Head of Reviews Glenn Reed, Review Manager Sam Amponsah, Review Officer Mr Reed and Mr Amponsah presented the Secretariat's schemes to Commissioners. Lincolnshire The Commissioners considered that, due to its almost whole allocation of constituencies with a Theoretical Entitlement (TE) to 6.97 constituencies, Lincolnshire could be treated on its own and should continue to be allocated seven constituencies. Commissioners considered that the two constituencies of Gainsborough, and South Holland and the Deepings could remain wholly unchanged, while Grantham and Stamford CC, and Louth and Horncastle CC would be changed following changes to local government ward boundaries. The electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham CC constituency was too large at 86,652, while that of its neighbouring constituencies of Lincoln BC (at 67,115) and Boston and Skegness CC (66,250) were too small. Commissioners therefore agreed that the five wards comprising the town of North Hykeham, and the Waddington West ward be included in the new Lincoln constituency, which in turn loses the Bracebridge Heath and Waddington East ward to the Sleaford constituency. It would not be possible to retain this ward in the Lincoln constituency without dividing the town of North Hykeham. In order to further reduce the electorate of the existing Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency, and to increase that of Boston and Skegness, Commissioners also agreed the transfer of the additional two wards of Kirkby la Thorpe and South Kyme, and Heckington Rural from the existing Sleaford constituency.
