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 and around Daventry, Northampton and South Northamptonshire.
The Council is responsible for a wide range of local services, including education, social care, housing, environmental services, and transportation, working to improve the quality of life for their community.
Established in April 2021, West Northamptonshire Council was formed to streamline and enhance the efficiency of local governance. The Council employs about 4,000 staff members committed to providing effective and responsive services, ensuring that the local community's needs are met with professionalism and care.
As quoted in the Council’s website: “We want West Northants to become a place where everyone can thrive, and the Council will help provide the framework and conditions to make this ambition a reality. We will work with employers, colleges and agencies to give people the skills and qualifications that businesses really want, to get more people into better-paid jobs.”
West Northamptonshire Council has a five-year plan:
- Drive the economic development and recovery from the pandemic as a key priority.
- Look at business support grants, flexible accommodation options and start up locations that utilise our empty sites and bring in business rates.
- We will take our seat at the heart of the Oxford to Cambridge Arc discussions and ensure we secure local benefit from its ambitions and plans.
- Partner with local voluntary, community and social enterprise sector organisations to enable communities to support themselves and co-design the public services they need, increasing inclusiveness and community cohesion, and reducing loneliness and isolation.
Employees of West Northamptonshire Council are eligible to join Commsave, gaining access to a variety of financial services and benefits designed to support their financial wellbeing.
