REPORT VIEW OR DISCUSS LOCAL PROBLEMS

(like potholes, graffiti, fly tipping, broken paving slabs, or street lighting)

 

We’d like to kindly remind everyone that the best way to report any street issues in our parish is through the website

https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/highway-maintenance/report-potholes-or-highway-problem

This will ensure that problems such as potholes, broken paving, or other damage will be logged quickly and directed straight to the team responsible for repairs.

By taking a few moments to report an issue, you’re helping us keep the parish safe and accessible for everyone. Whether you’re on foot, cycling or driving, well-maintained roads and pathways benefit the whole community.

Considerate Parking

/in News/by Media

All villagers are reminded to consider the access needs of residents and local farmers when parking their vehicles on roads and across pavements.

In particular, when parking on Lime Avenue please do not obstruct access to the opposite fields as access is particularly important this time of year for large plant and vehicles.
