In Corby we had our 'bad apple' with Reform UK's Robert Bloom, who quit as councillor for Lloyds & Corby Village ward and who was subsequently charged with two counts of racially aggravated harassment. (He pleads not guilty with trial set for later this summer)

Now Cllr Eglin, the recently appointed chair of North Northants Council has had to step down!

Full statement from North Northamptonshire Green Party below.

Reform Chair of North Northamptonshire Council, Cllr Maurice Eglin, has stepped down from his role of Chair after NN Journal reported their historic tweets. Here is our statement:

“We are appalled to read the comments Cllr Eglin has made about both the Muslim and Trans communities. The comments made by Eglin are deeply un-British.

It’s comments like these that stoke up hate and violence, like burning pride banners in Rushden or encouraging riots in Belfast.

This kind of bigotry has no place in civic life. We are elected to represent all of our constituents, not just those we agree with.

He has made the right decision to step down as Chair of the council, but having undermined the trust placed in him, we believe it is right for the people of Burton and Barton to decide if he should continue to represent them.”

We believe in nurturing and supporting our towns community spirit, not cutting it!

Yesterday, North Northamptonshire Council’s Reform Executive made the disappointing decision to scrap the Members Empowerment Fund. A move that Corby Greens believe is a massive step in the wrong direction for our town and North Northamptonshire.

Our Lee Forster stood up for Corby at the council chamber to oppose this "short-sighted" plan. As Lee highlighted in his speech, this fund isn't a luxury it’s a vital lifeline for the grassroots organisations that keep our community running.

🙋‍♂️Direct Support:
This fund allowed councillors to provide small, essential grants to local grassroot projects that have few if any other avenues for funding.

💪Empowering Volunteers:
Groups like the Corby Wombles have used this funding for equipment, enabling community minded residents to improve our local environment.

💰Saving Public Money:
As Leader of the Green group, Cllr Emily Fedorowycz pointed out “This is not a saving. The Institute of Volunteering Research shows that every pound invested in voluntary sector organisations generates over five pounds in value.”

The work Corby Wombles do alone, must save North Northamptonshire Council tens of thousands every year! 💚

This morning our Lee, Paul & Ross joined up with the Corby Wombles community pick and their mammoth quest to clear up the wooded area behind Asda.

to all the volunteer wombles that turned up, and to our Greens too. Together a grand haul of 92 bags of litter was picked plus a whole load of flytipping too. 💚💚💚

This public meeting on Thursday 7th at The Grampian will be worthwhile going to.

So many questions still need answering about where the steelworks waste went... how will we find the answers? and how do we find out if Corby's past is connected to the health of our community today.

The organisers have put together a panel of community voices and legal experts.

Guess who popped into Corby for a cuppa today? ☕️ Our very own Lee Forster and Paul Hopkins had a lovely catch-up with the 'Queen of Greens' herself, Caroline Lucas, at the Hungry Hossee!

Caroline has been hearing positive things about Corby’s community spirit and is researching for her latest book. The guys couldn't wait to tell her what makes our town special. They specifically chose the Hungry Hossee so Caroline could meet Shelaine and hear all about her growing Project Hope Corby, a lifeline that brings volunteers together to support the homeless, vulnerable, and lonely in our area. 💚

They didn't stop there! The guys made sure to spotlight the other fantastic local initiatives doing great stuff for our town, including, The Growing Project in Coronation Park, KHL Community Workshop, Strides Cafe ...and many more! ✅

While they loved celebrating the good, Caroline was also keen to hear about the serious challenges our town is facing right now. Caroline shared our deep concern over the two planned local incinerators, the ongoing Corby Childhood Cancer Campaign and the shocking refusal by North Northants Reform councillors to back our motion in support of ‘Zane’s Law’, making NNC the first and only council in the entire country to vote it down. 😡

Corby is full of passionate, hardworking people, and we will NEVER stop championing our community. We will keep shouting about the good, and fighting against the bad.

Thank you to everyone who makes Corby great. 💚

Wow! a fantastic job was done in Pytchley Court today. Thank you to everyone who joined in 💚💚💚

There was a big mess around the clothes donation bins and some very questionable donations that we don't want to discuss here 😀

18 bags of rubbish and various other bits like a smashed up on keyboard, roller blinds and bits of a curly wig blowing about everywhere!

to Ross, Harvey, Allison, Alex, Paul & Lee
