Coming up at September Cabinet meeting

14 September 2023

A range of key issues and initiatives are set to be discussed by Cabinet at their next meeting on Tuesday 19 September.

The meeting is set to take place in the Council Chamber at The Forum in Towcester from 6pm and will also be broadcast live on our YouTube channel

Items on the packed agenda will see Cabinet members consider:

• A proposal to close Boniface Care Home in Brixworth following a public consultation. As part of this, the Council would support residents to move to alternative residential care accommodation within the local area providing a suitable environment to meet their individual needs.
• Plans to open a new 45-place unit for children with Autism Spectrum Condition. Phase one of this scheme was completed at Hunsbury Park Primary School last year, with phase two proposed for nearby Chiltern Primary School.
• Planned work to remove asbestos in 35-39 Abington Street and 20-28 Wood Street ahead of the demolition of the former BHS, M&S and Jobcentre, to bring forward the regeneration scheme.
• A finance report looking at the first four months of 2023/24, and highlighting how our Council, like other councils nationally, is continuing to see significant financial pressures from the increasing cost and demand for children’s services, adult social care and temporary housing along with the ongoing impact of high inflation.
• The Public Spaces Protection Order currently in place in Daventry and South Northants areas, with a view to it also covering Northampton area. If approved, the order will come into force on 3 October 2023 until October 2025.
• The release of our Council’s first Annual Sustainability Report, showing our progress toward achieving key sustainability commitments, including the ambitious goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030.
