The Labour group is furious that West Northamptonshire Council has been driven by the administration to a situation where staff are being asked to consider redundancy or reducing hours to make ends meet. Services are stretched as it is, residents can’t take much more bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them. #rememberancesunday #northampton

Very concerning to hear about the data collection issues at NPH_news, especially finding that thousands rather than hundreds were living in sub-decent homes. It’s good to see West Northamptonshire Council Council and NPH working together to improve, but we have failed residents

The Labour Group joined others in commemorating #HolocaustMemorialDay and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. We join others in working “for a better tomorrow”, the theme of this year’s memorial, and swearing “never again”.

An extra £18m in council funding from our The Labour Party government, a sign that they meant it when they promised to improve services.

Another year, another budget, another opportunity for the Conservatives to ignore our proposals to improve our communities and residents’ lives. They’re happy to keep sleepwalking with your money… stop them.
