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.

Semilong Neighbourhood Watch

In July 2009 the Semilong Neighbourhood Watch was launched.

SEMILONG.ORG are proud to say that we have supported it from the very start, when they were still canvassing for support, we were there, and when they needed publicity not only did we advertise for them on SEMILONG.ORG for free, we were joined by Northampton newspaper, the Chronicle & Echo.

So What Is A Neighbourhood Watch?

The best place to go for this answer is the Semilong Northampton Neighbourhood Watch website itself.

However, it basically is a group of residents looking out for each other, taking onboard crime prevention advice to look after yourselves and your property. It also provides the framework for the police and residents to share information with each other to help prevent and detect crime and criminals.

Neighbourhood Watch is a proven method of bringing down crime, which perhaps is why many insurance companies give discounts to those in an active neighbourhood watch scheme area.

For more information on Neighbourhood Watch, please see the site at http://semilongNHW.co.uk

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