A council hit by a domestic violence scandal earlier this year has joined a nationwide initiative which aims to end domestic abuse.His replacement, Adam Brown, said: "We know people currently feel let down by us and we need to rebuild that trust."
The council said signing up to the campaign meant it could join a national network of professionals and ambassadors working to end domestic violence. The council's Conservative leader, Adam Brown, said: "We are totally committed to working with all our partners towards ending domestic abuse and violence of any kind, and ensuring victims are supported with the compassion they deserve, but we know people currently feel let down by us and we need to rebuild that trust.
"It will provide us with invaluable professional support and resources to help us develop a future action plan with partners towards tackling these issues.”Jonathan Harris, deputy leader of the Liberal Democrats in West Northamptonshire, said: "The decision to sign up to this national campaign is an encouraging start, but there is still so much more to do and a long way to go to restore people’s faith.
