Scott Collins

Liberal Democrat Councillor for Eastfield Ward, Northampton

Meet the Team

Cllr Scott Collins
I was elected to represent the people of Eastfield on Northampton Borough Council in May 2007.
I have lived in Northampton for the last 4 Years. I have 2 fantastic children and a great Partner.
May 2007 was a landmark year for myself and the Liberal Democrats as we took control of the Borough Council.
In the last year we have able to put the councils finances on a much firmer footing and start to look to the future and how we can shape it for the best of the town.
I am currently Chair of the Planning Committee, and sit on Overview and Scrutiny 3, which looks at the performance of the council and analyses how we are fairing on a regular basis. I also Hold the title of Faith Champion for Northampton Borough Council working to improve the links and understanding between the Faith communities across thte town and the Borough Council. This fits well with another role as Co Chair of the Diverse Communities Forum (Formerly Race Equalities Forum) which again seeks to help the council and communities accross the town to work together and understand the issues they face.

Over the period that the Liberal Democrats have been the administration at the Guildhall the Borough Council has gone from strength to strength. This has been down to good political leadership, common sense and hard working and dedicated staff and councillors.
