West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) in partnership with Northamptonshire Police, Northamptonshire Partnership Homes, and anti-knife crime charity Off The Streets NN have installed the bins over the past 12 months in the Kingsthorpe, Blackthorn, Thorplands and town centre areas of Northampton, and New Street in Daventry.
Off the Streets NN has also installed emergency bleed control kits in locations across the county which can be used to provide emergency aid to treat patients injured in a serious violent crime and keep them alive until the emergency services arrive.
A map of all amnesty bin and bleed control kit locations can be viewed in the Knife Angel App, available via the Explore Northampton App, along with videos, downloadable pdfs and information for parents on how to look out for signs that their child is being drawn into gangs and carrying weapons.
