From Monday (April 1) DHU Health Care will be operating the service for patients registered with a Northamptonshire GP.

Dr Emma Donnelly, clinical lead for urgent care, said: "The GP Out of Hours service provides a valuable service for patients who require urgent support from a GP when their practice is closed, including patients living in nursing and residential homes, and end-of-life patients requiring urgent support.

“We want to assure patients requiring access to an out of hours GP that they will still be able to access the same high-quality service they always have.“

Patients who urgently require a GP outside of core practice hours such as evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays and cannot wait until their practice re-opens will be able to access the service by calling NHS 111.

Here are the 17 businesses in Northampton that fall under the ‘takeaway/sandwhich shop’ section on the Food Standards Agency website which have been ranked as zero or one star. The Food Standards Agency official listings show 16 takeaways were given a one-star rating or one got a zero. Each business is given a hygiene rating from 0-5 when it is inspected by a food safety officer from the council, and a database is kept by the Food Standards Agency. One-star rating indicates “major improvement necessary”, while zero rating signifies “urgent improvement necessary”. All ratings were correct at the time of publication, according to the FSA.

James Mackaness has asked Northampton Borough Council to approve his proposal to construct a building three made up of three self-contained units on new land extending into the lake off The Causeway in Great Billing.

He is also asking for permission to use the units in an unspecified combination of either shops, takeaways or restaurants, employing six people.

A unique twist to the development would be a bridge that would link to the existing floating island in the lake, which is part of Billing Aquadrome.

Documents submitted to the council by Arcteck Designs said: "The bridge to the island will be completed at some stage and may provide and outdoor seating and viewing platform in due course."

Although in a flood risk zone with a 'high probability' of flooding, the planning statement says the units will have a high enough floor level to keep them safe.

The building, which would come with 22 new parking spaces, have been designed to fit in with the nearby businesses.

The documents say: "The design of the building seeks to blend in with the surrounding buildings in so far that it will be traditionally built with facing brick external walls and have a slate/tiled roof to specifically blend in with the Oriental Paradise Restaurant adjacent and Marquis Motor Homes opposite."

The policy is set out in a proposed noise management plan commissioned by the club, which contains measures to mitigate the impact of large-scale music concerts on people living in St James.

Deni Butterfield, acoustic consultant at Surrey-based Vanguardia, said: "A telephone complaints line should be made available for the duration of the event.

"Should any noise complaints be received, a consultant will investigate it and if noise levels are above those specified in the licence conditions, immediate action would be taken to reduce level at the noise source."

The new measure will be among several in place in time for the Madness gig at Franklin's Gardens on Friday, June 28.

A permanent noise monitor will also have to be in place at the mixer desk.

The noise management plan has been written to help the club makes its case to the borough council to have a condition removed that states only rugby games can be staged at the stadium. The condition was imposed in 2000 when the demolition of the East and West stands was given the go-ahead.

The new application says this condition only came to light after the Lionel Ritchie concert in June 2018.

Saints said the application does not indicate an ambition to ramp up the number gigs at the Gardens, and pointed to the benefits it offers members of The Parish supporters club - which is exclusively for people living in nearby streets - as evidence it wants to keep on good terms with its neighbours.

A spokesman said: "This is procedural measure which does not increase the number of non-rugby events that we are already permitted to stage under the terms of our existing license and therefore we are confident there will be no further disruption to our residents, with whom we already have a good relationship.’

The Kings Heath skate park is a multi-use facility suitable for skate boards, bikes and small scooters and open to all budding skaters looking to practice their tricks and kick flips. The design of the skate park was chosen by young people in the area who attended the Kings Heath Fun Day in July last year and was joint-funded by Sport England and the Mick George Community Fund for a total of £75,000. Housing organisation Northampton Partnership Homes and Northampton Borough Council’s Community Safety Team are also behind the project. Helen Town, assistant director for assets and regeneration at NPH said: “We are continuing to invest in the community at Kings Heath including homes and neighbourhoods. "It’s a priority for us to address communal facilities in the area and offer more activities for young people to do locally. "We’re currently regenerating the shop fronts on Park Square and working with Northampton Borough Council and local youth organisations like Free 2 Talk CIC, we want to continue to provide more opportunities for young people here." Councillor Anna King, Cabinet Member for Community Engagement and Safety at Northampton Borough Council, said: “Our residents’ views are really important to us so we’re really excited to be opening a new facility in Kings Heath, which will not only help keep young people engaged and active, but also meets the community need.” Skate boarding was recently recognised as an Olympic sport and will feature for the first time in Tokyo’s 2020 Olympics.

That is what Highways England promised as they announced work on a smart motorway – with “all lanes running” – on the M1 between Northampton and Milton Keynes.

So far, however, all the scheme and its speed-limited roadworks and electronic signs has done is frustrate large numbers of drivers. And, as the Chron’s research shows it has coincided with a significant rise in disruptive incidents such as accidents and breakdowns.

So far this year, Highways England has reported 15 major incidents between junctions 14 and 15.

Last year in the same period there were only two.

The dangers seem to be split into two categories; those related to the loss of hard shoulder and those caused by the narrowing of lanes.

And there is no shortage of drivers keen to share their tales of running the gauntlet on a daily basis.

Frankie Chase said: “Last Wednesday morning it took me an hour and a half to travel from junction 15 to 14 because of a broken down lorry in the middle lane, closing two lanes and an accident after that closing another lane. All avoidable if there was a layby.”

And Elaine Rivers-Jolly said: “[Smart motorways] are the worst things ever invented. I have been on the M1 when fire, police and ambulance cannot get through to an accident because people won’t and cannot move.”

The fifteen serious incidents between Jan 1 and March 27

January 23 - All lanes blocked southbound

January 25 - Two lanes blocked after accident.

January 25 -Separate accident

February 1 - Lane 1 closed, broken down van

February 3 - Lane 1 blocked, multi-vehicle collision

February 14 - Several crashes southbound in roadworks area

February 26 - Lanes 1 and 3 “compromised” after crash

March 4 - Lane 1 blocked by broken-down vehicle

March 4 - Number of accidents, eight miles of congestion

March 7 - Closed southbound due to crash. Traffic “at a standstill”.

March 8 - Lane blocked after road traffic accident

March 19 - HGV broke down, two lanes closed

March 19 - Collision

Mar 26 - Lane closed due to two-vehicle accident

March 27 - One lane closed after crash

Northampton North MP Michael Ellis has promised to ask the Government to make the junction 14 to 15 stretch safer.

He said: “I’m concerned about these reports.

“There’s no doubt there’s extra challenges in heavy traffic, especially in those prolonged works.

“I’ll be contacting the Highways Agency to ask what it can do to mitigate and reduce accidents.”

But the Conservative member rejected the suggestion that drivers not responding to smart motorway signs in the right way was the source of the problem.

Mr Ellis said: “I don’t think that’s the case.

“It’s more about sometimes the lanes being reduced in width.

“It’s not about the drivers, it’s about how the roadworks are laid out.”

Highways England says it wants drivers to feel safe.

A spokesman said: “We have and will continue to make some changes to the design of motorways. This includes making emergency areas more visible; introducing systems that detect stationary vehicles; and raising awareness of the need to comply with lane closures.”

Three-year monitoring reports on other smart motorways show the casualty rate has reduced by 27 per cent compared with the motorways they replaced.

In the meantime, Northampton motorists will hope long-term safety is worth the current rate of accidents and disruption.

Emergency services were called to Ellfield Court in Lings at about 8.30pm last night (Sunday), after reports that a smoke grenade had gone off in a communal area.

A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman said: "A few moments after the smoke grenade had been thrown, smoke started to filter through internal doors and set off the smoke detectors.

"The fire service recovered a smoke grenade from the top floor landing, which was seized."

As a precaution, an ambulance was called and a one-year-old boy was taken to Northampton General Hospital due to concerns he could have inhaled some smoke. It is understood he was not harmed.

The spokeswoman added: "Police are currently investigating the incident with an open mind and as a potential arson attempt - anyone with information should call us on the usual numbers."

A 16-year-old boy was left with serious injuries after being stabbed in Kettering.

The incident took place in High Street, near McDonald’s, at about 6pm yesterday evening (Sunday).

The victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries.

A police spokesman said he appears to be recovering well.

The spokesman said: “We believe his condition is not life threatening.

“The two suspects are described as two black males.”

The suspects made off down Meadow Road.

Witnesses or anyone with information should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

The survey – led by Kathleen Mortimer, senior lecturer in the Faculty of Business and Law, and Alison Ward Faculty of Health and Society researcher – contains 20 questions that will paint a fuller picture about local business’ knowledge and understanding of dementia law, and their duties and responsibilities as employers.

Researchers are looking to make the town more ‘dementia friendly’ – being aware of and how to act on the needs of customers affected by the condition.

There are approximately 850,000 people living with a diagnosis of dementia in the UK and that figure is set to increase to 2 million by 2025, of which 40,000 have young onset dementia and are aged under 65 years – also known as working age dementia.

In Northamptonshire, the number of people predicted to have dementia will rise from 6,935 in 2008 (of which 65 per cent are female) to 11,899 by 2025.

The university is engaged in a number of projects aimed at understanding the effects of dementia and to help the county be more dementia friendly. This includes co-running the county’s first dementia centre – UnityDEM – where people with dementia and their carers can access support at the same time.

Being a dementia friendly organisation can bring a number of benefits. It can support people with dementia and their family carers to remain an active part of their communities and workplaces. It can help develop an inclusive and empowering culture within the workplace which may help with staff retention, productivity and quality of service.

It also works towards businesses fulfilling legal requirements under the Equality Act 2010.

Organisations can already take simple steps to becoming dementia friendly. This may involve giving customers more time or having a friendly person on-hand who understands how they might be feeling. This can be achieved by accessing free dementia friends training for staff.

The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete and the questions include:

If the organisation has provided any staff training on assisting customers with dementia and their carers

How prepared the organisation is for working with customers who have dementia and their carers

The type of dementia training would they find useful.

The survey can be completed online here.

A police officer has shared the 'absolutely terrifying' image of what they found when they were called out to investigate 'a head in the road' in Northampton

An Armed Response Vehicle squad car was dispatched to the A45 Eastbound between Barnes Meadow and Riverside last week after reports of 'a head in the road'.

There were reports that a vehicle had even 'clipped' the object and sent it flying into the central reservation after swerving to try and miss it.

The squad arrived on the busy road at 4.40pm on March 28 fearing the worst.

But instead, what motorists had really seen was a plastic doll's head from a mannequin.

The 'head' was safely recovered.

The officer from @NorthantsARV shared the find on Twitter and said: "Getting a report of ‘a head in the road’ was slightly worrying.

"Luckily it wasn’t as bad as we feared, but still absolutely terrifying..."

A car was destroyed in a suspected arson attack in a Northampton neighbourhood last night.

Residents in Hawksmoor Way, Kings Heath, awoke last night (March 31) to find an abandoned Audi A3 in blazes on a nearby roundabout.

A fire crew arrived at 12:15am to battle the flames, which had engulfed the car and damaged a nearby lamp post.

Residents told the Chronicle and Echo: "I looked out the window when I heard the tires popping.

"The flames were so high they reached the lamp post.

"I could hear someone shouting nearby, who I guess was whoever started the fire.

"I was just concerned there was someone still inside."

The wreckage of the burnt-out Audi A3 is still sat on the small roundabout this morning (April 1).

Northamptonshire Police now believe the car was set on fire in a deliberate arson attack and was ignited using an accelerant such as aerosol or lighter fluid.

The United Kingdom’s newest university campus comes into focus in an exhibition from a group of students in Northampton.

The University of Northampton’s brand new Waterside Campus is the subject of New Beginnings, a two-week showcase of work from second years on the Photography degree course.

The undergraduates have spent the past few months documenting the campus, which opened its doors to students in September 2018. New Beginnings is now in its fifth year and has seen students document the changing face of Northampton town centre. This year’s exhibition will also include images taken of the town centre in previous years.

One of the exhibition organisers, student Rob Ambidge, said: “It has been wonderful to be able to continue this ongoing departmental project and be a part of an ever-growing visual record of the town’s regeneration. The move to Waterside has had a huge impact on so many people, and our key focus was to celebrate the good that the new site can bring to Northampton.”

Students taking part in the exhibition are Katie Lynes, Victoria Jacob, Inga Püschel, Holly Charlton, Britta Burgstaller, Katie Bebbington, Maria Henry, Ethan Stapley, Joshua Roston, Joshua Hayers, Polly Baxter, Rob Ambidge, Sarah Donagain, Thomas Lambert, Oluwadara Olorunshola, Kira Lockett, Charlotte Galbraith, Matt Burke and Jordan Barnard.

New Beginnings is open to the public and runs from Friday 5 to Thursday 18 April, on the ground floor of the Learning Hub, Waterside Campus, NN1 5PH.

A ‘diabetes van’ will visit three county towns this week to help residents find out more about the condition.

The events will be held in Corby, Daventry and Northampton as part of Diabetes Prevention Week which runs today (Monday) to April 7 and aims to raise awareness of the causes and complications of Type 2 diabetes, particularly amongst groups at higher risk.

There are more than 35,000 patients in Northamptonshire who are diagnosed with diabetes and it is estimated as many as 11,000 more people may be undiagnosed. In addition, it is estimated that a third of the population is at increased risk of developing diabetes.

The Diabetes Van will be available on the following days and locations:

Thursday April 4, 10am - 5pm. Tesco, 15 New Street, Daventry, NN11 4BT

Friday April 5, 10am - 5pm. Morrisons, 26 Victoria Promenade, Northampton, NN1 1HB

Saturday April 6, 9.30am - 5pm. Corporation Street, Corby Town Centre, Corby, Northamptonshire

Dr Sanjay Gadhia, diabetes clinical lead for Northamptonshire’s CCGs, said: “Having Type 2 diabetes potentially increases your risk of serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves. This is why we are keen to prevent as many people as possible from developing the condition, and to identify earlier those who do develop it as this massively reduces their risk of complications.”

Sarah Barnes, commissioning lead for diabetes for Northamptonshire CCGs, said: “Across Northamptonshire we now offer the ‘Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme’ to all patients at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. There is strong evidence that individuals taking part in this programme significantly reduce their risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, and the changes also reduce their risks for heart problems. It helps people take control at a critical moment in their lives.”

Professor Jonathan Valabhji, national clinical director of diabetes and obesity, said: “Around two thirds of adults and one third of children are now overweight or obese, driving higher and higher rates of Type 2 diabetes that we are now focusing huge efforts to address, as outlined in the NHS Long Term Plan.

“I’m delighted that our work so far in this area has been producing really positive results. This weight loss and glucose reduction is promising – we hope to help many more of those who are at risk of Type 2 diabetes to not get it in the first place.”

Northampton-based Brian Mitton, 76, had wrestled with his health and weight for over two decades. So, when a blood test revealed he was borderline diabetic, he didn’t hesitate to join the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme in the hope of making long-lasting changes.

He said: “I didn’t need an incentive to join. My brother-in-law died from diabetes-related complications and the thought of not being here for my family spurred me into action.

“I had a heart attack in 1999 which led to me dieting for 20 years.

“Whenever I’ve reached a healthier weight by eating well and being more active I’ve always felt much better. Consequently, I know a lot about what’s healthy so I needed a mind-set adjustment more than anything else.”

Delivered by health services provider Ingeus, the programme aims to support those at high risk of developing Type 2 Diabetes so they can reduce that risk, delay it, or even eliminate it.

Brian said: “The educator Henna is really good. She takes the time to listen to everyone and is really positive. She talked about being mindful and gave us suggestions for alternatives to comfort food.

“An added bonus was my wife accompanied me to the sessions. It meant she was on the same page and we could support each other.

“I’ve lost around 7lb (3kg) so far and have made more positive choices around food and activity like cycling while on holiday and taking the stairs whenever I can.

“The group had some good ideas for fitting in activity throughout the day like getting up when the adverts are on and walking around - it’s really that simple. It’s the small changes that are more sustainable.

“I know that families can influence each other and many members of mine struggle with their weight. As a father I want to enjoy my grown-up children and my grandchildren - and I want to be an example, to show that there’s a better way.”

Ingeus educator, Henna Parmar, said: “Brian understands the impact diabetes can have on individuals, and their families, and he’s doing really well to incorporate small changes into his lifestyle. This means he has more chance of making his healthier lifestyle last long-term this time. It all adds up and it’s certainly well worth it.”

If you feel you may be at risk of diabetes or have any concerns, visit the diabetes van for an informal chat or make an appointment with your GP.

In fact, the glittery 'Best F***ing Day Ever' sign (with only the 'u' starred out) at the front of Gardners Bakery in Kingsthorpe has helped Helen Gardner's business nearly sell out of a line of celebratory mugs, balloons and candles.

A number of people have raised complaints about the signage in the window along Harborough Road, which has been in place for the past eight weeks.

But Helen has defended the use of the banner, which actually relates to a brand that is stocked in-store of the same name.

"We didn't put it up to cause offence, we are just stocking a lot of that product and promoting the merchandise," she said.

Helen said that the sign, which has the 'u' of the swearword starred out, has helped the bakery to nearly sell out of its niche stock.

However, she said she had apologised to some who had contacted her after taking offence at the banner.

It is also due to come down in the coming weeks when the shop window is refreshed.

Chron reader Harriet Louise, who saw the signage in passing last week, was one of those to find it offensive.

She said: "I was absolutely disgusted and highly offended by this.

"All eyes will see this including children’s, I’m sure children will be looking through cake shop windows and how is a parent going to avoid that when it’s in plain sight?"

Northamptonshire Police was called at 4.45pm on Saturday following reports of the stones being thrown onto cars outside the Pure Gym and Iceland area of St Peter’s Way.

Witnesses said the objects were launched from the roof of the nearby university accommodation building in Woolmonger Street.

Reader Ian McKellar was passing by when he saw the incident on Saturday.

He said: "Several cars were damaged and it was only by good fortune that no one was either seriously injured or even received fatal injuries,

"The stones were certainly large enough to have caused death. It was very shocking."

A force spokeswoman said no arrests were made following the incident.

The University of Northampton is yet to comment on the matter.

If you have any information that could help the police investigation, call the force on 101.
