Join the conversation and have your say

In January 2019 the NHS launched its Long Term Plan, which sets out its ambition to make sure everyone has the best start in life, receives world-class care for major health problems and gets the support they need to age well.

Locally, our county’s health and care organisations are working together through Northamptonshire Health and Care Partnership (NHCP) to shape our local response to this, called the Northamptonshire Health, Care and Wellbeing Plan. This plan represents the commitment between health and care providers in Northamptonshire and the members of the local Health and Wellbeing Board to work together on a plan for our county.

Together our vision for the future of Northamptonshire’s health and care is to have a positive lifetime of health, wellbeing and care for all those in our community.

Whether it’s your opinion on the plan’s priorities, or how you and your family get health advice, support and services we want you to join the conversation. You’re at the heart of everything we do, so we want to make sure your voice is heard.

You can give us your feedback by visiting www.northamptonshirehcp.co.uk/join-the-conversation and completing the short online survey.

Councillor Chris Millar has announced that he will resign from his role as Leader of Daventry District Council on 31 October 2019, along with the Deputy Leader Councillor Liz Griffin.

Both Councillor Millar and Councillor Griffin will continue to be Daventry District ward councillors. DDC’s Conservative Group is expected to elect a new Leader and Deputy Leader at the end of September, to enable a smooth transition prior to 1 November.

The local planning authorities in West Northamptonshire have agreed to prepare a new Strategic Plan for the area. This covers the period 2019-2041, although this vision may look further ahead.

This Plan replaces the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy.

This Consultation is the first stage in preparing the new Plan and no decisions have been made. The purpose of the document is to raise awareness and stimulate debate.

An ‘Issues Consultation’ document which includes a series of questions is now available. Your views on the issues are welcome. A Sustainability Appraisal Scoping Report is also available for comment and there is the opportunity to put forward your ideas for strategic sites through a ‘call for sites’ exercise. Both documents are available for public consultation from 5th August to 11th October.

To view the documents go to https://westnorthantsplan.inconsult.uk/consult.ti/WNSPIssues/consultationHome

You are encouraged to visit the website and use the online forms available to respond to the consultation.

The documents are also available for inspection from Council Offices at:

– Northamptonshire County Council, ONE Angel Square, Northampton, NN1 1ED;

– Daventry District Council, Lodge Road, Daventry NN11 4FP.

The documents are also available for inspection from the Brixworth Library on Spratton Road, Brixworth.

A series of public exhibitions will also take place during the consultation period as set out in the table below:
