The virtual FutureGov Transitions Event 2.0 that was held in April was a great opportunity to learn from inspiring colleagues in Camden, Bristol, Blackpool and St Helens alongside organisations including Ageable, Difrent and CollaboratEQ. It was also a space to reflect on the journey we have been on to successfully launch our new council on 1 April with our ambitious plans to make West Northants a great place to live, work, visit and thrive.

Having now recovered from a full weekend of council elections activity at the Silverstone Circuit (home of the F1 Grand Prix), alongside the nationwide elections, it feels like a perfect time to take stock.
