Polite notice

If you put up posters around the village to advertise an event or for another purpose, the Parish Council would appreciate it if you could remove your posters after the event date has passed.
Old posters become tatty and become an eyesore, spoiling our village.

The Parish Council has received a request that double yellow lines are considered on High Street

Whilst Stanwick Parish Council is not the Highway Authority, and cannot undertake any work itself, it can petition the Northants Highways to take action.

The area is the narrowest section of High Street and there has been an increasing number of incidents of the road being blocked by cars parked on both sides of the road and vehicles not able to pass through.

Before the Parish Council makes a decision on whether to request that double yellow lines are installed, it would like to consider the views of residents that will be most directly affected.

If you do not live in the immediate area of the consultation but would still like to have your say, please write to or email the Parish Council. All comments must provide an address to be taken into consideration.

The closing date for comment is 16th December 2023

High street

In August 2023 a consultation letter was hand delivered to properties on Samuels Close and West Street to seek views of the possibility of adding double yellow lines to the junction of the two roads in the interests of public safety.

The consultation was open to all residents, with details given on the notice board, the Parish Council website and on Facebook.

All additional comments have been put together in an single anonymised report that is available to view on the Parish Council website with the agenda papers for 21st September 2023.

At the September Parish Council meeting, it was decided to forwarded the report to Northants Highways for their opinion. Northants Highways have suggested an extension to the double yellow lines to a  limited extent.

On this basis, the Parish Council will be submitting a formal application to Northants Highways for the introduction of double yellow lines. We have been advised that this can take up to 18 months to process.

Are you a mature driver (aged 60+)?  Live in Northamptonshire?  Rely on being able to drive?  This FREE roadshow is for you!

Driving is an important part of our everyday life and we (Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA)) are keen to help to keep mature drivers driving safer for longer.

Our driving ability to drive changes over time for different reasons, especially as we get older. It’s important that we recognise whether and how our driving is changing so we can stay safe and protect both ourselves and those around us.

This Mature Drivers Roadshow is aimed at drivers 60+, and will cover all different aspects of driving. There will be a short talk and then plenty of time to meet informally with our many stand holders. Free advice will be available on car adaptions, eyesight, how your prescription medications may affect you, and much more.

There will be FREE IAM RoadSmart Mature Driver Assessments available to be booked.

Our aim is to keep mature drivers driving safer, for longer.

Book your Free tickets via Eventbrite: https://mature-drivers-2023.eventbrite.co.uk

The event is being held at Police Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton NN4 0JQ (https://what3words.com/bill.necks.boxer) with two sessions, 9.30am and 1.00pm.

This is the report from our local policing team on how they have responded to locally identified priorities.

If you have a view on what their priorities should  be, you need to do their short (5 minute) survey and encourage others to do so as well.

 

The Parish Council is proud to launch its green strategy web page. It can be found from the drop down menu.
