The 2nd link doesn't work. The fact still remains that neither WNDC or Northampton Borough have access to impartial archaeological advice. What was the key mistake that you refer to Peter? A few years ago Northants had a well-staffed Historic Environment Service at County level which also provided advice to the districts and other agencies. That is no longer the case. Hence the events of the other night outlined in the article. Who is going to advise WNDC on appropriate mitigation in this case? The developers?
