History
In the 2003 local elections the opposition Conservative group scored an outstanding victory in Wellingborough District, gaining 13 seats to secure an 18-seat majority in the Council Chamber, while in East Northamptonshire the Conservative group increased its majority to 30 seats. In 2005 following on from the local election successes, the Conservatives regained the Parliamentary seat they lost in 1997; Peter Bone secured a 2.9% swing to the Conservatives to win with a majority of 687. In 2007 the Conservatives in East Northamptonshire virtually eradicated opposition in the district when they won all but one of the 40 seats in the council chamber. In Wellingborough, the Conservative majority in the 36-seat chamber increased to 24 winning 30 seats at the same time defeating both the leader of the Labour group and his deputy. In 2009 Wellingborough Conservatives won 4 more seats on Northamptonshire County Council so that all Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire seats on Northamptonshire County Council were held by Conservatives. In 2010 the Conservatives increased their majority in the Parliamentary seat to 11,787 and the national party formed a new government in coalition with the Liberal Democrats. In 2015 the Conservatives once more increase their majority in the Parliamentary seat to 16,397 and the party formed the first Conservative majority government since 1992 with David Cameron as Conservative Prime Minister. We have members serving on all local councils. Please see the Our Councillors pages for details of Our Borough, Our District and Our County Councillors on our website.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

WHO DECIDES WHAT GETS BUILT IN YOUR AREA?

Planning meetings are already being cancelled across the country.

Labour’s new planning rules take power away from your elected local councillors, restricting their ability to call in planning applications for scrutiny.

Instead, decisions about what gets built in your neighbourhood are increasingly being handed to council officials.

Local decisions should be made locally.

Your elected councillors should have a say in shaping your community, not have their voices sidelined by Labour.

Yesterday our familiar streets were filled with light, colour and music as Wellingborough came together to celebrate Diwali.🪔

At its heart, Diwali speaks of renewal; of light enduring beyond darkness, and of our resilience to rise anew from all that has passed. The embers of yesterday may kindle the warmth and colour of tomorrow, while the future, however uncertain, remains a vast and unwritten sky, beneath whose light we may yet discover all that is good, wise and beautiful.

The celebrations are only just beginning, with more Diwali festivities and fireworks at Eastfield Park next Sunday from 5pm, alongside much more to enjoy. 🪔

Looking forward to another wonderful celebration.
