Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership report delayed

The publication of a valuable 'Healthcheck' report that will show how effective NEP really is has been delayed for several months. The report will expose whether NEP actually delivers the value for money that Tory controlled NCC claim. In the light of repeated criticism from the Liberal Democrat opposition that the £2m annual cost to the tax payer could be better spent the NEP Healthcheck was commissioned and should have reported in March. The Conservative Cabinet has now delayed publication.

Northamptonshire Liberal Democrats lobby Government over emergency services merger

The Northamptonshire Liberal Democrat County Council group have lobbied the Local Government minister on the potential merger of emergency services. Recently the Conservative Police Commissioner raised alarm after talking of a "merger" between services, with the Police Commissioner taking over the Fire Service and possibly even other blue light services in the long term. In order to do this a change to legislation nationally would have to be made.
