Welcome to Thrive West Northants

Our 2nd Big Conversation about what is important to you is now closed.

In March we held a big conversation for our residents and people who work in West Northants and hundreds of people told us what was important to them to make West Northants a place where everybody can thrive.

We then held a second big conversation for all colleagues at WNC so that you can tell us what you think needs to change to help us be a great place to work. We wanted to know what you think needs to start, stop or be done differently to make your workplace better as well as agreeing how we should treat one another as colleagues.
This conversation is now closed.

Our independent partners will now analyse all your contributions which takes a few weeks. The insights will be shared with you and we are already thinking about what action we will need to take in response to what we have heard.

Thank you for taking part.

Thrive West Northants is an interactive online platform, similar to a traditional in-person workshop, but more inclusive, accessible and transparent. We can also involve more people (not just those who can fit in a physical room), allowing us to hear from people across West Northamptonshire – everyone has a voice.

To make it easier to say what you really think, this online conversation is anonymous and independently hosted.

Thrive West Northants is:

anonymous – your name is not attached to anything you share;
for all residents, members and staff to read, vote and comment on each other's ideas;
available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week while the conversation is live; and
accessible from wherever you may be – on any computer, tablet or smartphone.

What you can expect:

Feb-March 2022
The first big conversation was open for 4 weeks for everybody who works or lives in the west Northamptonshire area, to give people an opportunity to share what is important to them. This conversation closed on 27th March 2022.

March – April 2022
We will analyse the resident’s conversation and draw out the themes that we heard from our residents. We will share these with staff in a second big conversation for council colleagues to consider along with offering an opportunity for them to shape how the council is working. This conversation for staff will be live from April 19 to May 6.

May 2022 onwards
West Northants Council will consider everything that has been contributed in the big conversations to create neighbourhood strategies, a citizens charter between the council and local residents, and set out the councils ways of working for staff.
