Lincoln’s Lib Dems continue to march forwards! 🔶
🌳 St Giles Division GAINED from Conservatives
🌹 Park Division GAINED from Labour
It’s a unique team, fighting for residents after decades of two party system neglect 💪
English
The Board of NPH has had Councillor representation from both the Conservative and Labour groups for the last four years. It's also a shame that these Company Directors did not fulfil their key role of being 'independent or thought'. What challenge and scrutiny has there been?

Our statement following the Regulator of Public Housing finding serious failings in @WestNorthants's social housing
English
This is shocking - but both the Conservatives and Labour have held seats at the Board since the creation of WNC. Who has been looking under the bonnet?

The West Northants Labour Group has said it is "shocked" and "concerned" after the council reported "serious shortcomings" in health and safety standards in its social housing and inaccurate data being shared from its housing provider. cambridge-news.co.uk/news/uk-world-…

This isn't just an operational failure - it is a huge failure of governance. NPH has had a Board with council and political representation from both the Conservative and Labour groups since the formation of WNC. There are questions to be asked at many levels.

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 @WestNorthants Council and NPH working together to improve, but we have failed residents
English
And with the housing waiting list totalling over 4,000, 72 is welcome but will be a drop ocean of what is fundamentally needed.

@WNLibDems We believe it means the old bus depot in St James that council bought last year. Greyfriars is a separate scheme in partnership with the English Cities Fund
English
The Greyfriars framework published last week shows 540 dwellings and 900 student beds. Are the 72 in addition or part of these proposals? Is it for social housing? In Northampton, funding isn't the only problem it's the delivery mechanism with capital projects well behind.

Today, @Keir_Starmer announced £68 million of funding for local councils to turn brownfield sites into homes. Great news that more than £2.59 million has been allocated for @WestNorthants , including £1.4 million to transform the #Northampton bus depot and deliver 72 new homes!

Unpaid carers are the backbone of Britain’s social care system.
Our plan is simple: Give carers the financial and emotional support they need to care for their loved ones while living their own lives to the fullest.

🚨 Winter Fuel Payment Cut: Liberal Democrat amendment means West Northants Council will write to Rachel Reeves 🚨
Council accepted the amendment. It also said the Council should "urgently start an awareness campaign for pension credit & help people complete applications."

Losing a parent is one of the toughest moments for a child to experience and the challenges of this time can have a prolonged effect on the child’s wellbeing and education.
Liberal Democrats have passed new policy to stand up for bereaved families and kinship carers, so more young people can grow up in a loving, stable home.

The purchase of the corn exchange was discussed, debated and challenged at cabinet the week before. Behind closed doors due to the constitution - not our choice. Cabinet has ALL the power on these decisions. Council merely a nod from the Conservative majority. We abstained.
OddManOut@OddManOut5
I have spent time today looking at Thursday's WNC meeting on YouTube. With few exceptions the performances were awful. What is being hidden from the about the Corn Exchange & why? @WNLabourGroup needs to up its performance & ask the important questions. Same for @WNLibDems

Hundreds of thousands more pensioners are now set to lose out on these desperately needed payments that protect so many from having to choose between heating and eating.
Cutting these payments is totally wrong.

This motion was a chance for the administration to show they are serious about helping residents to be healthier, happier and to drive less. Instead the car is still king for @WestNorthants @WNLibDems
Cllr Sue Sharps@SueofBrackley
@mrpotholeuk @VisTran @WestNorthants Thanks Mark, it was disappointing not to have the motion accepted, but I take heart in how close the vote was . The idea is sound, we need money allocated for the repairs of our Footpaths.

A joint letter from the Leaders of @WNLibDems and @WNLabourGroup to the Chair or @WestNorthants asking for assurance that future council meetings be inclusive and far more effectively organised than the one experienced yesterday evening.
