| The handover of Kingsthorpe Meadows |
A PROMISE KEPT
TO THE COMMUNITY
Jan 5th 2010
This was the scene when an important promise was kept to the community in Kingsthorpe just
before Christmas.
It was the handover of 14 acres of land at Kingsthorpe Meadows sold to the NN2 Residents Association
by the Choudhury family.
The deal was negotiated by Sally Keeble after the controversial land sale of the site in 2008.
Residents voted at a meeting in Spinney Hill Theatre to use community funds raised by NN2 Residents Association to buy the
site as a community park.
Now rest of Kingsthorpe Meadows will also be put to a community use. And the proceeds of the
sale will be used by the Choudhury family to develop the former Mill Wheel pub in Billing Brook Road as a community centre.
In the picture Sally Keeble MP, with Martin Jones of NN2 Residents and the Choudhury family.

About two thirds

promotions in shops.
The report has been sent to the Home Office
to feed into the Government's consulation on the mandatory code on alcohol sales.
Sally Keeble wants to hear what's happening to
young people in Northampton July 3rd 2009 Sally wants to hear from young people who are leaving school or university in Northampton this summer. She's setting up a research project to ask them about their experiences as they look for jobs
or move into university, college or training. She'll use the findings
to press the Government for more support for young people in the autumn. It's
expected that things will be tough for young people this summer due to the credit crunch. So if you're from Northampton and you're leaving school, college or university this summer, use the
