The Parish Council are arranging a residents meeting on Saturday 15th January 2022, 10am to 2pm, Yelvertoft Independent Chapel.
As some of you may know a planning application has recently been submitted for a 200 acre Solar Farm on fields 700m from the village on the Crick Road.
The Parish Council wants to hear your views on this development before we respond on your behalf to Daventry District Council which will decide the application in early June.
We have decided to conduct a simple survey to find out residents’ views. Given the very tight timescales of consulting on this during lockdown we have needed to use an online survey tool. You can take the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/3V283HK
The Parish Council will then discuss these ,and other responses, at a planning meeting of the Parish Council at 7.30pm on 1st June.
Please do have your say. This is a major development. The feedback request will be publicised to residents via this website, Facebook, and a flyer to each household.

#NorthantsTogether campaign
A new campaign called #NorthantsTogether has been launched 02 April to help share local information and advice about COVID-19.
Across Northamptonshire, a wide range of organisations and individuals are working really hard to help our communities during the outbreak and keep people safe. Many of these organisations are now beginning to use the shared hashtag #NorthantsTogether in their messaging to demonstrate the scope of activity and support available across the county.
These organisations include health services, local councils, the police, the fire and rescue service, as well as care providers, community groups, voluntary and charitable organisations and education providers.
Regular updates and information related to COVID-19 are being issued to the public from a variety of sources including; health and government advice, latest regulations and guidance, details of the community support available, as well as changes and amendments to local services.
Our approach is to help our communities to link together locally. By using the shared hashtag #NorthantsTogether or by referring to it in our communications, it will make it easier for local people to identify local messages and discover what support and information is available in the county, and how the vulnerable are being cared for. We know not everyone will have access to social media, so while we will use this as a hashtag for social media, it’s a way of showing we will all work together to support Northants Together!
Toby Sanders, Chief Executive of NHS Northamptonshire CCG and Chair of the Strategic Co-ordinating Group said: “The #NorthantsTogether campaign is a great way to share the incredible work going on across Northamptonshire. People have really stepped up and pulled together to help our communities during this enormously challenging time.
“There are so many organisations and individuals doing their bit to help, which is fantastic. Through #NorthantsTogether we can share important local information and advice and help people find and access the range of support on offer.
“In addition, we want to use this campaign to show our appreciation of key workers, who are working so very hard to keep the system going. We also want to recognise and thank the people of Northamptonshire for the massive part they are playing in reducing the spread of coronavirus in the county. We are all in this together – #NorthantsTogether”.
Lucy Wightman, Director of Public Health Northamptonshire, said: “There is a significant amount of activity happening within the county and I’m pleased that people will be able to keep up to date with the latest local advice and support through the #NorthantsTogether hashtag, particularly during this period of social distancing.
“The social distancing measures in place to delay the spread of the virus are vitally important. They remain the best way to protect the most vulnerable in our communities.
“I want to thank the people of Northamptonshire for their support with this.
“We really need our communities to continue to fully follow the Government’s social distancing and social isolation advice. It will make a huge difference in reducing the number of cases in the county and in reducing the number of deaths.
“Unfortunately we don’t know how long these measures will need to be in place but I anticipate it will be some time yet before they can be relaxed. I urge the public to continue to do their bit and adhere to the advice and guidance they’ve been given and stay at home as much as possible.”
Cllr Matthew Golby, Leader of Northamptonshire County Council said: “We are very pleased to be part of the #NorthantsTogether campaign. It is a great way to co-ordinate information and help the people in our towns and villages identify and learn about what’s available to support them, and to keep up to date with changes in services under one hashtag.
“The campaign is also an ideal way to share the amazing work of the hundreds of community groups and volunteers who are working with us to provide community resilience and make sure that care and support is in place for the isolated and vulnerable. We have lots of local heroes in Northamptonshire and #NorthantsTogether is a brilliant way to recognise and celebrate them.”

Operation Snap allows members of the public with a dash-cam in their vehicle to easily report driving offences in Northamptonshire, by filling out a form and uploading video evidence. The submitted footage is examined by roads policing officers which can then be used to take action against drivers found to be breaking the law.
The Force has received 126 submissions since the scheme was set up in October 2019, of which action could be taken in 60% of cases.
The introduction of Operation Snap has been funded by the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner with the support of the Department for Transport.
Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold said: “This forms part of our commitment to prevent and reduce serious and fatal collisions, and I’m pleased to be able to increase ways to make our roads safer using digital means”.
PC Dave Lee of the Safer Roads Team said: “Operation Snap enables us to take action on driving offences we otherwise wouldn’t see. It’s important to remember we examine footage for evidence of offences by all parties, so please don’t break the law in order to report someone else to us, or you could be prosecuted too.”

Re: Annual Parish Meeting Invite
We are writing to invite you to the Yelvertoft Annual Parish meeting which will be held at 7pm on Monday 6th April 2020.
Due to Coronavirus please note that all face-to-face meetings have been suspended so the meeting will be via web conference.
We would really appreciate a report on what your organisation has been working on over the last 12 months, and also a presentation of your accounts. This is a great opportunity for you to inform the village about your work, plans, achievements, and anything else you wish them to know.
We are often approached by village organisations with requests for funding, which we welcome. Please note that priority for funding will be given to those groups that attend the Annual Parish Meeting as the Parish Council has a duty to all residents to ensure all funding awarded is made on a fair basis and in order for us to make such decisions we need to know what groups contribute to the village, how active they are and have an overview of their finances.
If you, or a representative, are unable to attend the meeting then you are welcome to send me a report which I will read out at the meeting. If you are attending the meeting I would really appreciate you emailing me a copy of the report also to include in the minutes.
If you wish to participate:

If using a telephone: 0203 695 0088. Please note that calls from landlines will be charged at your usual rate.
If you join online can we please ask that you do not use your webcams as it slows down the conference connection. Please also try to access the conference at least 15 minutes beforehand so you can test your audio. Your pc may also want to do a small download in order for Zoom to work on your pc.
