The weather might be getting colder, but we’ve had a story of romance to warm your heart this month!

Maff from Kettering met a girl on a night out in Market Harborough, but thought he would never see her again…

Until the power of social media (and potentially his local newspaper too) helped to bring them together and see if a date could be on the cards – Cilla Black would have loved this story!

But that’s not all we’ve brought you this month with plenty going on across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and Rushden.

Our reporters have been out and about bringing you all the latest stories and breaking news so here is our round-up of some of October’s biggest news stories and events so far.

Our reporters were out at the scene getting reaction, pictures and video following a major industrial fire last week in Corby.

We covered the truly heartbreaking five-day inquest of Chloe Longster, 13, who died at Kettering General Hospital following a catalogue of 'missed opportunities' that could have saved her life.

We’ve also reported on numerous incidents on county roads in recent weeks, as well as brought you the good news that lighting along a stretch of the A45 is set to be improved over the next three months.

We also had pictures from the World Conker Championships, held right here in the county in Southwick, near Oundle.
