Jacqui Smith, Home Secretary, spent the morning with representatives from Friends of Northampton Racecourse and Northants Police. She was very encouraging and complimentary about the exciting comunity-lead initiative healthy Living Hub project to improve The Racesourse, and pleased to hear how crime figures had fallen since the excellent work of the local Community Safety Teams (SCT). The meeting developed plans to base the SCT in the bottom of The Racecourse as part of a Partnership Office, and further discussions will be held next month.
