Home to what was once branded the worst-run council in the country, local elections this week mark the start of a new chapter for Northamptonshire.
After years of council turmoil including bankruptcy, a corruption scandal and failing social services, when people head to the polls on Thursday they’ll be voting for the first time to elect two new unitary authorities hoping to start afresh.
It’s the first local elections in the area since 2017, after the vote was delayed first for the restructuring process and then Covid. “It’s been a long time coming, we haven’t had an election for years, so I think everybody is keen to see democracy in Northamptonshire again,” said Robin Burgess, the chief executive of the Hope Centre in Northampton, which works to address poverty in the town.

Christmas food parcels, cards and gift boxes were donated to people in St Neots by kind-hearted students.
Learners at TBAP Unity Academy St Neots prepared the festive treats during their last week of term.
The group of Year 11’s packed boxes of Christmas treats donated by Sainsbury’s, members of staff and the school’s community.
They also wrote Christmas cards to people at the Hope Centre in Northampton, a charity for the homeless, with messages of support for the festive season.
They also sent cards to residents in local care homes, saluting them for their bravery during the pandemic.
