Parish Council News – Maidwell with Draughton Parish Council

A greener Maidwell and Draughton

Monday December 12th, 2022/in Parish Council News /by Clerk

Are you concerned about the environment?
What can we do at a village level?

As a council we feel it is important to consider the environment and are looking to set up an enthusiastic working group to consider environmental intiatives for the residents of Maidwell and Draughton.

If you are passionate about the environment or just keen to get involved in village activities, we would welcome your ideas (both big and small) and your time.

Please get in touch with Penny Munro (PC Chair) or any of the PC councillors.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Consultation on Proposed Speed Change – A508 – Wednesday 24th August

Tuesday August 16th, 2022/in Parish Council News /by Clerk

During discussions over the last couple of years between the Parish Council and local agencies about our ongoing concerns about speeding on the A508 through Maidwell village, two suggestions were made by the Road Safety Team:

new “linings” to be placed on the road through the village which will visually narrow the road, thereby encouraging drivers to slow down as well as reinforcing that they are in a village. These were approved by the Parish Council at our meeting in March 2021 and this work will be done when the surface dressing through the village is completed.
a change to the speed limits on the south side of the village to narrow the 30 mph zone and introduce a buffer 40 mph zone.

Highway’s advice is that the 30 mph zone is too long and that a stepped zone would aid compliance with the limits. They will not allow the new 40 mph limit to extend beyond the village to allow the 30 mph zone to remain as it is. Their proposal is based on similar successful changes made to other roads in the county – one example including the A5199 between Spratton and Creaton. The specific detail of the change is contained below and I attach the drawing produced by Highways.

The initial proposals were approved by the Parish Council in March 2021. The change has now been approved by the Speed Limit Panel and WNC are now undertaking a consultation exercise prior to any work taking place.

The Parish Council will therefore be holding an extraordinary meeting on Wednesday 24th August at 7.30 pm in the Loder Hall to allow residents to express any views prior to the council deciding on its response to the consultation. Details of the meeting will be published in the usual way on noticeboards, via e:mail and on the village website. Any contributions will be subject to the normal rules.

We welcome the contributions from residents across the villages who may wish to express a view.

COVID-19 Support line run by Daventry District Council

Thursday April 16th, 2020/in Parish Council News /by Clerk

COVID-19 Support line run by Daventry District Council

A new support line has been set up to help residents in need of extra support during the coronavirus pandemic.

The new support line number is 0300 126 1000 (option 5) and allows those who cannot leave their homes under current restrictions and those who have nobody to call upon for help, to request support in getting access to food, prescriptions and other vital services that they require.

Daventry District Council is working with Northamptonshire County Council and other partners to co-ordinate local efforts to get people the help they need during these difficult times.

Each call will be triaged so that individuals receive the care and support appropriate to their needs. Requests will be mapped and linked up with local community groups, volunteers and voluntary organisations who have pledged their support.
