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.

New On SEMILONG.ORG

20th September 2009

Launch of our new look and updated website. After months of behind the scenes work the site has now gone live which we at SEMILONG.ORG are incredibly proud of.

We would also like to pass on our best wishes to the Semilong Neighbourhood Watch Scheme which was set up in July and their website at http://semilongNHW.co.uk has also gone live.

The group at SEMILONG.ORG had an online brainstorming session at the start of this week to come up with new projects for the new website. You will see the first of these shortly.

Thanks for your patience during this major overhaul of the site.

Please note that our old domain at SCN-Northampton.com will cease in the next few weeks, so if you need to do so, please update your bookmark to SEMILONG.ORG soon.
