As we enter week 2 of lockdown we thought it might be helpful to highlight Northampton County Council's and Northampton Borough Council's Coronavirus advice pages, where you can find up to date information about testing,  local guidance, council services, support, FAQs and much more. Please see the links below: -

• Northamptonshire’s Community resilience function continues to provide support for the most vulnerable.The countywide Community Resilience hub was set up at the start of April to help those needing support or assistance during periods of isolation or for those who are vulnerable. As we entered a second national lockdown period, the local resilience forum wants to reassure residents that support is available for anyone who needs it. The local Coronavirus support line which is run by Northamptonshire County Council continues to provide support for anyone who requires help with accessing food, medication or for those who are lonely.  0300 126 1000 - option 5.

Community Safety and Engagement - Northampton Community Safety Partnership (CSP), brings together a range of partners from the public and voluntary sectors who are all engaged in activities which contribute towards making Northampton a safe place in which to live, work and visit.

The Northampton CSP has a legal responsibility to work together with partners to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour, substance misuse, environmental crime, and issues around re-offending. These actions are detailed in the Northampton Community Safety Plan, which runs on a rolling 3 year basis; however, in an ever-changing environment, this plan is reviewed and updated on an annual basis to make sure it is on track and that the priorities originally set are still relevant for the different communities across Northampton.

The Community Safety & Engagement team contributes to the delivery of this plan. They also help to ensure that the council understands and works effectively with the diverse communities of Northampton, including celebrating this diversity, fostering good relationships and promoting understanding through community events. The team supports the partnership between the council and local voluntary and community organisations, such as charities, which provide essential services to our citizens. The team oversees and facilitates a small grants programme, a larger grants programme and a grant for all Councillors.
