KETTERING CONSTITUENCY LABOUR PARTY
Desborough Ward by-election
Thursday 4th April 2024

My priorities for the ward are being altered as I knock on doors listening to people, and will probably change again, once I find just how bad the NNC finances are. From previous experience, it is not just the finances, it is the lack of maintenance, training and investment that has to be repaired and recovered.
We have a thriving local membership, and encourage people to join us to build that brighter future and fairer society. We have a good representation of Young Labour members, and welcome people from all backgrounds and communities within the Constituency. We hold regular bi-monthly All Members Meetings.
We have local Labour councillors currently sitting on Desborough Town Council, Kettering Town Council, Burton Latimer Town Council and North Northamptonshire Unitary Council.
We are also part of a wider community action group of concerned local organisations and passionate individuals fighting to protect Weekley Hall Wood, the last remaining part of Rockingham Forest close to Kettering that is under threat of being lost to developers' plans to build warehouses on it.
