Hello! My name is Debbie and I recently joined the Town Council as Events & Community Engagement Coordinator. I grew up in Thrapston and after moving away for a few years following university, I returned in 2019 to be closer to family when my daughter arrived.

and get to be involved in some fantastic conservation efforts. Now, with two young children, it’s wonderful to live and work in Thrapston and I am enjoying being back in my hometown and close to family and friends.

(77 High Street) or the Souster Youth Hub (Market Road). Anyone can attend. Please see our website for a full list of full council and committee meeting dates.
If you have something you want to say
to the Town Council contact the Council office to find out which meeting would best suit your particular enquiry or comment, be it a planning application matter, an idea for an entertainment event or a comment about the parks in our town, or whatever is of concern to you. The first 15 minutes of a meeting are set aside for the Councillors to listen to you. So come along and have your say.
