About West Northamptonshire Council

West Northamptonshire Council is the single unitary council responsible for providing a range of public services to residents and businesses in the areas of Daventry, Northampton and South Northamptonshire.

It has replaced Daventry District Council, Northampton Borough Council and South Northamptonshire Council, and now delivers all the services which were previously provided by these councils.

These services include:

collection of your household waste
maintenance of parks and open spaces
street cleaning
environmental health
planning services

West Northamptonshire Council also delivers many of the services which were provided by Northamptonshire County Council, including Education, Highways, Adult Social Care and Libraries.

Through one council, we are transforming these services for the better, and delivering them in a more joined-up and cost-effective way.

If you have any questions about the change to your councils, please contact us.
