Current Campaigns

Officers from Northampton Borough Council wish to speak with these two individuals who were seen dumping rubbish into our Semilong Northampton community.

If you know who they are, please contact SEMILONG.ORG.

Please remember, flytipping is a criminal offence with a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison or an unlimited fine !!

When seen we will publish photographs and videos of flytippers disposing of their rubbish on the streets of our community.

Our aim is to stop our Semilong Northampton neighbourhood looking like a rubbish tip.

Semilong Northampton Litter Lout 1

This LITTER LOUT casually threw his litter on the ground with no regard to the people who live, work or pass through Semilong Northampton.

Litter is a permanent problem in our neighbourhood and despite it costing thousands to clear up, some people think it is still alright to throw there litter on the ground.

Our aim is to make these litter louts think twice about using Semilong Northampton streets as a litter bin and to reduce the amount of litter that our residents have to put up with.

As this map of reported crime shows, our Semilong Northampton neighbourhood is a crime hotspot, with the crime rate figures never falling below the HIGH mark.

Our aim is to help to reduce that figure by highlighting the publiscised crime in our neighbourhood.

We will also support the Semilong Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.

For crime prevention advice and tips please see the Neighbourhood Watch site.

Community Information

Semilong Northampton is a community that is changing. New events, new initiatives. All to improve our neighbourhood. Quite often than not, these improvements are behind the scenes, or go generally un-noticed. Here SEMILONG.ORG will try and change that.

Semilong Resident's Forum

The Semilong Residents Association, or Community Forum as they prefer to be called, works hard for all the residents and businesses in Semilong. We have included the minutes so that all residents can see how the Semilong Residents Forum is working on their behalf.

Noticeboards

It was at one forum meeting that SEMILONG.ORG brought up the topic of noticeboards for residents in the multi-occupancy buildings and around our community.

We believe that noticeboards enable residents to be better informed of what is happening in their community and increases a sense of belonging to the community.

Though at the meeting, the idea of noticeboards did not receive widespread support with belief being expressed that noticeboards are too costly and would be vandalised, we have since started to see noticeboards appear in our community. For example, outside our local Co-op store and at Miller's Meadow on St Andrew's Road amongst other places.

The Forum must be congratulated for this great idea to further improve our neighbourhood.

However, so far the multi-occupancy dwellings of Alliston Gardens, Semilong House, Adelaide House and Mill House are not included, perhaps the belief is that residents will vandalise them or simply that these residents do not need them. Come on Northampton Borough Council, act decently..
