On Sunday, we took our engine The Queen Eleanor around the village to see how easy it was to drive an emergency vehicle in some of the busier parts. We know the village has being discussing the difficulties the emergency services would have and we thought that we might be able to help visualise the situation.
It was by no means as busy as it has been recently and we’re happy to report that we made it through – albeit with the need of someone outside watching each corner.
That said, there was definitely one (maybe two) ‘pinch-points’ causing concern.We hope it helps the discussion and if there are other areas of the village you think it would help for us to check out, please get in touch.
Last night saw eighteen members fo the brigade visit the Potbelly Brewery in Kettering for a tour and sampling session. Potbelly Brewery is a Micro Brewery supplying Real Ales from the heart of Northamptonshire – something we VERY much like to support.
