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.

[read the article here]

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.

History Of Semilong Northampton

Semilong has a very rich and varied past. As you visit the local Co-op store on Semilong Road, allow your eyes to look up at the building's architecture. This was not a building erected in the fast concrete building days of the 1970's !!

We invite all entries from people who can remember Semilong of yester-year. Please contact us to tell us what you know. [click here]

Your House - Who Lived There?

In this special project by one of our local history enthusiasts, SEMILONG.ORG will be looking back into the history of our neighbourhood. We will pick a street at random and using the census records we will see who lived in each property on that street.

This fascinating journey will start with 1901, when Queen Victoria was still on the throne, when motor cars could only drive at about 10 mph in most cities, when aviation was in its infancy and the welfare state had not been created yet, so even children as young as 14 had to go out and work.

This journey has already thrown up some surprises. For example..did you know that several residents in the first street SEMILONG.ORG will be looking at, had servants in 1901. Can you imagine servants living in your house now? Look back with us and see if your house has been included yet. If not, remember to check back every two weeks..

1901 Census

Look at the 1901 census here to see if your street has been included yet.

We, as a community together, can make a difference.
