All eight authorities in Northamptonshire are working on a proposal for the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government that "must command a good deal of local support", so stakeholders across the county have an opportunity to comment before a final proposal is submitted.
The Government's invitation to submit a proposal follows a Best Vale Inspection of Northamptonshire County Council, which concluded that its financial, cultural and governance problems could not be solved in isolation and recommended that plans be developed for two unitary authorities.
The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government has asked that the eight authorities in Northamptonshire submit a proposal that meets the following criteria:
- A single county-wide unitary is explicitly excluded as an option
- Each new proposed authority must have a population substantially in excess of 300,000
- The proposal must be based on existing council boundaries.
A representative telephone survey, focus groups with representative groups of invited residents and engagement with other stakeholders are also taking place.
Other consultations by the local media and by individual councils have taken place at the same time, so it's really important that people respond to the official Local Government Reform Northamptonshire consultation being run by all eight Northamptonshire councils for their comments on the proposal to be considered. » Less

Raunds Summer Picnic
Despite the England football game playing a part in lower numbers than previous years, this years Summer Picnic was a great success. With the temperature in the high 20's, picnicers were entertained by music from the Maxibrites whilst children enjoyed the free bouncy castles, face painting and Mrs Bubbles!
