Residents encouraged to help shape approach to tackling climate change

/in News/by

Residents, businesses, and stakeholders are being encouraged to share their views on a strategy to tackle climate change across West Northamptonshire.

The draft Climate Change Strategy outlines West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) approach to reducing locally produced greenhouse gases, improving air quality and placing people at the heart of the climate emergency response.

Cllr Rebecca Breese, WNC’s Cabinet Member for Environment, Recycling and Waste said: “Extreme downpours such as those seen recently across our region seem to be becoming more frequent. It is important that we put a strategy in place for reducing the impact of the climate challenge and we need the support and views of our residents, businesses, partners and stakeholders to do so. I would encourage people to get involved in shaping the final document so that we can focus on reducing our carbon footprint and creating a vibrant, healthy environment for our communities.”

Addressing key challenges such as energy, buildings, transport, waste, nature, and the economy, it proposes innovative and adaptive aims to meet these challenges. The strategy has been developed following a pre-engagement exercise in September that asked people to feedback on their priorities on dealing with the climate challenge.

The consultation runs until 19 January, and people can find out more and have their say on WNC’s Consultation Hub.

Residents invited to provide Comfort and Joy this Christmas

/in News/by

Residents are invited to support vulnerable people this Christmas by providing gifts and essential items to those staying in refuges and experiencing domestic abuse.

The Comfort and Joy initiative, organised by West Northamptonshire Council’s (WNC) Community Safety Team, seeks to provide gifts, treats, food, toiletries, and other essential items to those in need.

In addition, the campaign aims to raise awareness around domestic abuse, which tends to increase over the Christmas period. The Crime Survey for England and Wales estimated that 2.1 million people aged 16 years and over (1.4 million women and 751,000 men) experienced domestic abuse in the year ending March 2023. Each year, more than 75,000 people in the UK are at high and imminent risk of being murdered or seriously injured as a result of domestic abuse.

Donations of new, unwrapped items can be dropped at the Council’s offices at The Abbey Centre in Daventry, and the Guildhall in Northampton. The deadline to donate items is 12pm on Monday, 16 December.

All donations will go directly to local people living in refuges and other vulnerable families in West Northamptonshire this Christmas. These donations will be distributed between the Northamptonshire Domestic Abuse Service (NDAS), Home Start, and Eve.
