As part of my ministerial role I am the minister with overall superintendence of libraries and I have been all around the country visiting and opening new libraries and witnessing first-hand their huge importance to communities and those who use them.
On Friday, 8th June, I met Cllr Jonathan Nunn, Leader of Northampton Borough Council (NBC), and the new Chief Executive, George Candler, and took the opportunity to raise with them some important constituency issues.
As many readers will be aware, I have been saying publicly since October 2017 that I do not have confidence in the Leadership of Northamptonshire County Council.
