Public can have their say on logo options for new North Northants council

A trio of logos are in the running to represent the new North Northamptonshire unitary council.

The area’s distinctive natural environment features in all three of the logos which have gone out to consultation with the public.

One bears a Red Kite, another has a green leaf and the third features the Red Kite and the iconic Rockingham Castle which sits on the outskirts of the Corby Borough.

As part of the plans for the new council, elected members and staff from Corby, East Northamptonshire, Kettering, Wellingborough and the County Council have been involved in developing the designs.

The new unitary will be created next April, with elections in May.

Corby’s Cllr Jean Addison, who is chairman of the Communications and Engagement Task and Finish Group for North Northamptonshire, said: “Delivering value for money will be the hallmark of the new North Northamptonshire Council which is why we have kept costs on this project to an absolute minimum by using existing design staff rather than spending taxpayers’ money on expensive agency fees.

“As a new council, it will be important that people know who is delivering their services and where to go for help – a new logo will play a big part in helping to do this and that’s why we’re seeking public opinion on the designs. We hope that people will take five minutes to have their say as their views will help to shape the final logo.”

Residents across the area are able to complete the survey via https://futurenorthants.citizenspace.com/north/new-north-logo until September 6.
