[NORTHAMPTONSHIRE COMMUNITY MESSAGING - Northamptonshire West - 04.02.10 - NBC MESSAGE- 2417]

This is a message from Northamptonshire West Police to all residents living in the Northampton area on behalf of Northampton Borough Council.

Please be aware that the overnight closure of Bridge Street (in Northampton town centre) to traffic will change from this Friday, 5 February.

As a result of feedback from local businesses and others, Bridge Street will now close to traffic at 10pm instead of 8pm on Fridays and Saturdays. A pull-in for traffic will also be created at the bottom of Bridge Street as a pick-up and drop-off point.
These changes will run for a four week trial period.

More information about the closure and how to feedback is available on www.northampton.gov.uk

Drugs In Our Community

As you know, drugs are NEVER something we should turn our backs on. Drugs can be addictive, even cannabis and many people commit crime in order to get the cash to pay for drugs. There is also the side issue of dirty needles being left lying around the Semilong Community, as what happened recently when some were found outside Castle School.

For that reason, if you know anything about drugs in our community, please let the police know, let us know, or tell Crimestoppers.

This is an issue which must be tackled.
