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.

Places Not To Visit Or Things Not To Do
(A light-hearted look)

Pot Hole Spotting
(like train spotting but trains are less frequent)
Kerb Crawling
(seriously a no no on grounds of legality and both health & safety)
Stop at the Traffic Lights on St Andrews Road / Grafton Street
(prostitutes have been known to try to get in the car)
Hurdles
(what other function could the barricades that divide our community fulfill)
Asking Northampton Borough Council To Stop Dumping Rubbish In Car Parks
(never ending task as they treat places in Semilong like a rubbish tip to leave rubbish in for 5 days out of every 7)
Driving Through Our Semilong Community
(even the Alton Towers rollercoasters are not that bad)
Litter Picking
(again a never ending task that would need to be repeated week in week out)
Guess Street Sweeping Day
(because Northampton Borough Council refuse to publish the rota even though it is a service we pay for)
Spot The Criminal
(No chance here...the hedges and even weeds are too high round car parks and along Lower Adelaide Street for you to see who is at your car or dealing drugs and Northampton Borough Council refuse to cut them more than once a year)
Try Not To Walk On The Cracks In The Pavements
(come on..this would be plain impossible in Semilong..the pavements are so cracked and broken)
Try To Put Litter In A Litter Bin
(there are only four for the whole of the neighbourhood and you'll never pass one)
Book A Bulky Item Waste Collection On The Internet
(Northampton Borough Council will never acknowledge the request and never answer it)
Drop Your Keys Down A Drain In The Road
(You would be hard to spot one that isn't blocked, it is extremely lucky Semilong is on a hill)
And finally...Drop Litter In Front Of The CCTV Camera on Semilong Road Then Wait To Get A Fine
(they don't see anyone else dropping litter there and act on it, why should they see you dropping litter and act on that...what makes you so special?)

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