It was great to have a catch-up with some of the leadership team at East Northamptonshire Council recently. We discussed matters both local and national, with COVID-19 and the upcoming transition to a new unitary council unsurprisingly dominating the agenda. It’s always useful to discuss the issues that local people are experiencing and to feedback local concerns that I see in my inbox every day to the local authority, in order to ensure that it is delivering the best service possible and can proactively tackle those issues and concerns.
