Badby Village

Every year Northamptonshire Libraries delivers the Summer Reading Challenge, which challenges children to read six books during the summer holidays.  It has been proven that children who don’t continue reading during the summer have a lower reading age when they return to school in September than before the summer.

Due to the exceptional circumstances surrounding Covid-19 we are unable to deliver this in the normal way and the challenge will be online this year.

You can find out more about the challenge on our web page: www.northamptonshire.gov.uk/src or on our facebook page: www.facebook.com/NorthamptonshireSRC

Armed Forces Day takes place on Saturday 27 June and is an opportunity for the nation to show its support for the UK’s serving and retired military community.  Daventry District Council will be flying the Armed Forces Day flag from Monday (22 June) for the week.

We are helping to promote the national #SaluteOurForces campaign and need your salutes. It is a simple way for anyone to pay tribute to the British Armed Forces community for their hard work, dedication and efforts to keep us safe in the UK and across the globe.

To join in, simply send a photo or video of yourself, your friends and family or colleagues saluting, to me by Wednesday, 24 June.  I will then collate and submit the photos, which have a chance of being used on the official Armed Forces Day website and social media channels.

You can also submit your entry direct via the following methods:

Tweet @ArmedForcesDay using #SaluteOurForces
Comment on one of their Facebook posts
Or email @armedforcesdayuk@gmail.com

Hi

Please see right: Apparently two dogs found, on Bear Hill – between Badby and Staverton Lodge. Midday time today 13/06/20.

Sections 1 and 2 of Part 3 of the “unaudited” Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) for the year 2019-20 are now available on this website on the Badby Parish Council  Finance page, together with the Notice of Public Rights and associated notes (Local Authority Accounts: A Summary of Your Rights).

During the period of public rights, which runs from 15th June to 24th July, any person interested has the right to inspect and make copies of the accounting records for the financial year 2019-20.  The Notice of Public Rights explains how to obtain these.

Each year the parish council’s AGAR needs to be reviewed by an external auditor appointed by Smaller Authorities’ Audit Appointments Ltd.  As it has yet to be reviewed by the appointed auditor, it is subject to change as a result of that review.

With two weeks experience we have adjusted our opening hours and increased our range:

Deliveries within the village remain as usual until further notice.

Please note there is a wider selection of  items in shop including Gallone’s ice creams and large beer cans.

You can keep up to date as we adapt on our facebook page.

 See our on-line order website for this week’s menu for take-away meals.

Order on line   or    by email maltsters@greenhousepubs.com  and pay at shop

Small businesses in Daventry District are being encouraged to apply for grants of up to £10,000 in the latest round of Government funding aimed at easing the impact of Covid-19.

Daventry District Council (DDC) is inviting small businesses that were not eligible for the Government’s other coronavirus support schemes to make applications to the new Discretionary Grant Fund.

The funding is aimed at businesses with under 50 employees that have seen a significant drop in income due to coronavirus, such as those in shared offices or other flexible workspaces, bed and breakfasts which pay Council Tax instead of Business Rates, some eligible charity properties and those who spend less than £51,000 a year renting or mortgaging a property.

The deadline for applications to the Council is the end of Sunday, 14 June 2020 and businesses can check the eligibility criteria and apply online via the DDC website at https://www.daventrydc.gov.uk/your-council/news/advice-on-coronavirus/businesses/discretionary-grant-fund/

DDC has already distributed £13.41m of Government funding to 1,138 local businesses during the coronavirus pandemic – including grants for retail, hospitality and leisure businesses, plus a series of small business rate relief grants.

Councillor Colin Morgan, Resource Portfolio Holder at Daventry District Council said: “Our staff have been working hard to ensure that local businesses receive the Government funding support that they are entitled to during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“The Discretionary Grant Fund is aimed at those small businesses struggling significantly during these difficult times that aren’t eligible for the other government grant support schemes. I would urge any small local businesses who think they may qualify to visit our website to check the criteria and then apply online.”
