Eye in the Sky

A Rare Find in St James

While there was excitement in the sands of Egypt when Tutankhamun was found,and there was pandemonium in the Klondike Gold Rush,what awaits St James after a flower was discovered in the well renown "St James Flower Beds".

The Only Thing That's Not Been Cutback !!!!

The current council is cutting back on everything ,except the trees in Stanley rd,or is it their attempt at creating a local rainforest.

Saints / ASDA meeting 7th may 2003

Following our report last week in Down Your Way on rumours that the Community Centre would be closing, we have spoken to the Borough Council and they have confirmed that if the executive committee want to step down, they will take it over. This is still rumour and conjecture at the moment, however, as we haven’t heard directly from anyone on the executive committee that they do intend stepping down.
Last night at the Resident’s meeting, representatives from Saints and ASDA attended to talk about their development proposal at the rugby club and they answered questions from residents. The main issues raised by residents were the problems with parking, implications on the flood plain and increase on traffic to the area. They don’t anticipate submitting their planning application until the autumn and in the meantime will be carrying out extensive consultation with local residents. They assure us that all feedback will be taken into account and mentioned investing in the local area to improve our highways. So, let us know your views and concerns so that we can keep the pressure up.
Latest priorities from the Safer Community Team are;
1. speeding along Weedon Road,
2. thefts from motor vehicles in and around Sixfields
3. anti social behaviour on the Upton estate.
Problems are starting to appear from the new shop on Ambush Street with poor parking causing a safety hazard, litter from discarded cans, and youths hanging around drinking. We will be raising it at the next JAG.
We still urge you to ‘adopt a pothole’ and continue to report the poor state of our roads on Street Doctor on the County Council website, or write directly to the Councillor in charge Bob Seery at bseery@northamptonshire.gov.uk. The lack of response from them so far shows how little regard they have for St James but this means we must campaign even harder so that cannot ignore us and have to act.
Don’t forget to read and comment on our blog at www.jimmys-end.blogspot.com and we now have a new website www.sjra.info. We’ve only just started it and will be expanding it’s content so let us know what you’d like to see on it.

The next Residents Association meeting is 18th June so get it in your diaries now.
