Northamptonshire County Council and its partners want to change the way they plan, develop and deliver services for older people in this County.
As a result we have developed "Active Ageing in Northamptonshire"; this strategy was originally called "A Better Northamptonshire for Older People" and has now been revised to reflect the views that you expressed during the recent consultation about it.
The strategy document can be downloaded from the link below.
