This is the third time that Danielle and Ivan have hosted an online public meeting. The last meeting in March saw over one hundred questions submitted with topics covering the rollout of live facial recognition, the use of e-scooters and anti-social behaviour.

This month’s meeting will give Danielle and Ivan the opportunity to update viewers on the actions that were taken from the last livestream, as well as answering new questions from the public.

Questions about any policing or community safety issue are welcomed – potentially covering subjects such as neighbourhood policing, safety in town centres, funding or road safety. Please do not send in any questions about live or on-going cases, as these will not be answered.

You can now submit your questions on email to: chiefschat@northants.police.uk or you can ask questions live during the broadcast on Facebook or YouTube.

A5 Crossing survey

Tuesday September 1st, 2026/in News/by Clerk

The Parish Council is asking all residents to complete the A5 Crossing Survey to help us build a clear, evidence‑based picture of the issues and the need for a safe crossing point. Your feedback is essential — the more responses we receive, the stronger our case when working with Highways and other authorities.

Why your response matters

The A5 has long been a concern for many in the community. To secure improvements, we must demonstrate:

The scale of local concern
The specific problems residents face
The impact on safety, accessibility, and daily life

Every completed survey strengthens our ability to push for meaningful action.

Need help or have questions?

If you experience any issues completing the survey or have queries about what’s being asked, please contact:

Parish Clerk: clerk@kilsby-pc.gov.uk
Chair of the Parish Council: rchamberlain@kilsby-pc.gov.uk

They will be happy to assist.
