Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Last October, I campaigned for a safer Corby starting with a Knife Bin plus an outreach programme. Yesterday in Corby Town Centre it was installed by the good people at Off The Streets NN CIC after funding was provided by Corby Town Council. 100
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 13/09/2026The honest question about a community asset isn't whether people want it. It's who pays to look after it in year fifteen. Pen Green can answer that itself. #Corby #PenGreenLakes 110
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Mark Pengelly beat the 272 homes at Pen Green. Kevin Watt pushed the wildlife case for two years. They were right. This is their win too. #Corby 100
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Lib Dems have called out against the sewage scandal for ages - now it's here in #Corby just outside #PenGreenLakes. I went to see how the lakes have recovered with recent rains only to find water being inexplicably poured into Willow brook 132
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 06/09/2026At #PenGreenLakes there is Pen Green Bridge that crosses from East Lloyds into Willowbrook Industrial Estate. This path has been left poorly attended but could be a vital link to connect homes and employment for the people of Corby. It needs work and proper managing by the council to do this. #Corby 000
Reposted by Alex LockLiberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 03/09/2026Farage has always behaved as though the rules apply to everyone but him. These allegations against Reform look like the latest example. Lib Dem Cabinet Office spokesperson @lisasmartmp.bsky.social has written to the police and the electoral commission asking them to investigate. 17767290
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Open ground is flood infrastructure. It just doesn't look like it. Rain that soaks into Pen Green is rain that never arrives in the gardens behind Stephenson Way. Network Rail put flood risk here at 1 in 2. #Corby 110
Reposted by Alex LockCorby Liberal Democrats @corbylibdems.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Alex Bailey is our Liberal Democrat candidate for the Corby West by-election on Thursday 1 October. Alex backed the knife bin coming to Corby town centre, is pushing for trains north from Corby, and is campaigning to bring the town's fireworks back. Corby demands better. 022
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 30/08/2026#PenGreenLakes act as a vital defence for flooding for the rail and the homes nearby. It's an important part of the ecosystem that not only has the potential for beauty but natural flood defence. We continue to chase land owners to enable this to turn this place into a real community asset. #Corby 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I did another sweep across the ward particularly the Village and East Lloyds area It was also nice to see the fixes happen on Kelvin Grove! A complete list: 100
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 24/08/2026There is a reason Pen Green is open ground, and it is not an accident. It sits between one of the East Midlands' biggest industrial estates and several hundred homes. That gap is doing a job. #Corby 100
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The campaign to make #PenGreenLakes an asset for all those in #Corby. They act as a vital flood defence, there are paths that connect homes to employment, and more. Inspired by the work done by others like Mark Pengelly and Kevin Watts. I believe now is the time to bring this up for all. 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Homes England has agreed in principle, in writing, that Pen Green should become a community asset for #Corby. A thread on what that means, and what it does not. #PenGreenLakes 100
Reposted by Alex LockLiberal Democrats @libdems.org.uk · 18/08/2026Free local bus travel is a vital lifeline for many disabled people. After an almost two-year campaign the Government has finally listened to Liberal Democrat calls to stop restrictions to disabled bus passes. Disabilities don’t start at 9.30am. Neither should disabled bus passes. 56628
Reposted by Alex LockCorby Liberal Democrats @corbylibdems.bsky.social · 19/08/20267,623 disabled people in Corby and East Northamptonshire rely on PIP. Reform would scrap it as it exists today. Cash gone for most. Means-tested for the rest. Liberal Democrats will defend the most vulnerable. 011
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I'm autistic. I'm a parent of children with SEND. North Northamptonshire gives 1.9 children early help in mainstream school for every one holding a legal plan. England: 2.45. I won't pretend a ratio proves everything. But it points somewhere, and NNC owes families an answer. 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Went to film the lakes at Pen Green. Filmed a lake that wasn't there — grey mud, cracked into plates. Built to empty, yes. Not to swing this hard, in the same year it holds water back off Stephenson Way. www.northnorthantslibdems.org.uk/ca… 000
Reposted by Alex LockCorby Liberal Democrats @corbylibdems.bsky.social · 16/08/2026One of the lakes at Pen Green is a cracked, empty bed right now. That is a balancing lake doing its job. The problem is the swing — driest July on record, and in winter this same ground is what protects Stephenson Way. 011
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 12/08/2026And this eclipses my first FOCUS leaflet delivery across the ward with over 4,800 leaflets across Lloyds Ward. Look forward to doing my second one soon! 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 10/08/2026It's been a great tradition for over half a century, don't let it be swept away by Reform 010
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 02/08/20261,675 hours of raw sewage went into our brooks and rivers across Corby & East Northants last year — during a drought. 488 of those hours came from Corby's own sewage works, straight into Willow Brook. And the water bosses still took their bonuses. Enough. #SewageScandal 000
Reposted by Alex LockCorby Liberal Democrats @corbylibdems.bsky.social · 02/08/20261,675 hours of raw sewage were dumped in Corby & East Northants in 2025 — during the driest spring in over a century. 333 separate spills, and Corby sewage works alone ran for 488 hours into Willow Brook. Lib Dems are demanding a tough new regulator to end this. #SewageScandal 066

The EU's Entry/Exit System is causing hours-long queues, missed flights and stranded families. Lib Dems want it suspended until at least September so people can actually enjoy the break they saved for. 043
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 29/07/2026The consultation on the parish wards is now up, we need to ensure that these wards represent individual estates instead of lumping areas together. Corby Old Village and East Lloyds are very different, as are Danesholme and Great Oakley 100
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 19/07/2026I'm off for a while but I will be looking to lobby Homes England about Pen Green and their intents. This area has been allowed to go to waste when it has so much potential, so watch this space for more on my campaign for Pen Green Lakes and making it a jewel of Corby. 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 17/07/2026More fly tipping on Earlstree spotted during testing at Pen Green Lakes and Willowbrook off Brunel Rd (FLY856043836) and end of Macadam Rd (FLY856044288) 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 16/07/2026As I was testing for Earth Watch last Saturday, unfortunately we did see quite a lot of fly tipping with trolleys everywhere. They block and plague the entire Willow Brook and Pen Green Lakes cause stagnant water and polluting the waterways. I've reported as the following: 000

Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Kelvin Grove is completely covered in potholes, it needs action before someone gets hurt. It's damaging resident's vehicles and liable to hurt someone with loose rocks. I have raised with highways as ref 9771937 yet there are many reports from many. Action is needed now! 000
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Doing some leafleting in East Lloyds and at the Station Flats, I've reported the following: 1) Large potholes on Station Road (ref 9773620) 2) Abandoned Trolley (FLY856105435) and dresser draws (FLY856105780) on James Watts 3) Broken down game table of some sort off of Telfords Lane (FLY856106269) 100
Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Great day out volunteering for Earth Watch to help gather samples to help understand the real picture of the environment and to see Pen Green lakes, a hidden gem of Corby.

Alex Lock @alexlockld.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Good to be back on Kelvin Grove where I first moved to #Corby but unfortunate to see the potholes still persist. I'll definitely be kicking off about this with NNC, some of these have massive rocks that are waiting to be kicked up by a car into someone 000
