There are concerns that Conservative run West Northants Council (WNC) is preparing the way for the closure of a much valued Care Home in Towcester
Who would have thought it - Jeremy Hunt favours the richest people in society with generous pension contribution rule changes whilst ignoring the vast majority who are struggling with day-to-day bills
Jill Hope - the LibDem parliamentary candidate for Northampton South - responds to an email from a concerned voter - we thought other people may be interested in our ideas and thoughts.
The WNC Full Budget is due to be discussed at a WNC meeting on 22 Feb at the Main Hall in the Guildhall - Lib Dem councillors call on the council top prioritise the spending on the following areas
The Government has failed to inject money and support local communities in Northampton after last week’s so-called Levelling Up funding announcement. No surprise that Rishi Sunak’s own constituency of Richmond in Yorkshire received £19m of levelling up funding, and much of the rest is going to relatively wealthy areas in the South East.

Stunning victory in Brackley Town by-election for Jeremy Gladwin
Local Liberal Democrats have today launched their plan for the West Northamptonshire Council elections on Thursday 6th May.
The Conservative leadership of the Shadow West Northamptonshire Council are proposing real increases in Council Tax but delivering few service improvements.
The Liberal Democrats have put forward a motion to Daventry District Council to get the full council on side to lobby both local MP Chris Heaton-Harris and the Chancellor Rishi Sunak, to change approach and make funding support available for the up to 3 million people who have so far fallen through the COVID funding gap.
12 months ago on the 18th July 2019, I won a stunning by-election for the Daventry District Council ward of Brixworth. We worked hard to replace one of our Tory councillors who had been 'missing in action' for the best part of six months, securing eventually over 50% of the vote and a 33% swing from the Conservatives. We still have another Tory councillor who most locals will tell you is continually missing in action.
Where is the democracy in our local government? Asks the Liberal Democrats following the first meeting of the shadow executive for the new West Northamptonshire Shadow Council as the Tories act politically to promote cronyism over competence.
