Remember this? “The problems faced by NCC are now so deep and ingrained that it is not possible to promote a recovery plan that could bring the council back to stability and safety in a reasonable timescale.” So here we are.... theguardian.com/society/2018/m…

Does anybody know why there isn't a valid tree planting strategy in #Northamptonshire according to the The Tree Council? I've emailed to ask but I am curious as to why this is the case. Could be a project immediately taken by the new unitary authorities Future Northants North Future Northants West

Unitary Authority elections here I come!

Thank you to all fundraisers, and I'm just sorry you were needed for such senseless destruction.

"While the average number of cases per 100,000 people is 30.7 across the whole UK, 28 local authority areas have at least double that number, with five – Wakefield, Barnsley, Mansfield, Corby and Clackmannanshire – recording at least three times as many."

This is part of the history behind the financial collapse of Tory run Northamptonshire County Council - and why we've ended up with voting for new unitary councils in May. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

As part of our election coverage we’ll be taking a closer look at the main parties’ manifestos and letting you know where they stand on the key issues. In the first of this series we are setting out the parties’ pledges on the environment nnjournal.co.uk/p/elections-20…

So good to see The Yards Kettering coming to life this Spring. Illicit, Burgermania and Spaghetti Rock, and now The Refill Van from next Saturday. Let's make The Yards rock! Kettering Town Centre Partnership northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/environme…

My goal is to make North Northamptonshire the first net zero carbon emissions unitary or county council in the UK! Future Northants North #NORTHAMPTONSHIRE #Kettering

Just grabbed some nuts and oats from the Refill Van at The Yards Kettering. Saves me getting them from a supermarket with 20kg of plastic packaging. Lovely atmosphere there, life coming back to Kettering after the last several months. #Kettering #Northamptonshire

In Northamptonshire, our Tory run council tried a radical privatisation model and ended up going bankrupt twice. Those same councillors are now standing again for election. Around here, we have more reason than many to #NeverVoteConservative #Northamptonshire #Kettering

Remember what the Tories did to Northamptonshire County Council? We even hit the New York Times. Not in a good way. "Squeezed to death." That's why we are where we are today. Don't let them do it again. #somethingsgottochange

Don't forget to vote Labour tomorrow (Thursday May 6th)! Here's what I stand for: candidates.democracyclub.org.uk/person/80798/a… #Kettering #Northamptonshire #LocalElections2021 #LocalElections #Labour #LabourParty

.Joe Biden's global pact will bring in extra tax to Britain - while stopping huge multinationals and online giants from undercutting our businesses. Why wouldn't the Conservatives support it? huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/joe-bide…

This is obviously a good idea. Those who have been saying that you can't raise taxes because big businesses will just move elsewhere should be rooting for this legislation. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…

I get that people are concerned about systematic oppression and exploitative jobs but it kinda kills my buzz when people talk about it
