[edit] Flooding

Is there a need for the information on the 2007 flooding? We also had flooding in previous years that cost substantial amounts of money. Antisora 11:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Yes there is a need, I knew nothing about it until just now. Is that chip butty place near the George Hotel still going? Totnesmartin 08:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Growth claims

I have removed a variety of claims of future growth because they are uncited and anyway Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The claims are:

  • "Northamptonshire is the UK's 4th fastest growing county and Kettering is a significant contributor to this growth. "
  • "[The population] is expected to rise significantly over the next 15 years."
  • "North Northamptonshire...is expected to deliver about 52,000 new homes and 43,800 new jobs over the period 2001–2021 and a further 28,000 new houses in the following decade..."
  • "The borough of Kettering is due to see 13,100 new houses built during that period, with further thousands of houses thereafter. .... Given the housing expansion elsewhere in Northamptonshire the county, the 4th fastest growing in the UK, will see at least 145,000 new houses constructed by 2031, increasing its population by 50%." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.167.181.33 (talk) 20:03, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
