Today we published our final recommendations for future electoral arrangements for West Northamptonshire.

We are proposing that West Northamptonshire should have 76 councillors. Those councillors should represent?13?three-councillor wards, 15 two-councillor wards, and seven single-councillor wards?across?the council area.

We are also proposing that the boundaries of all wards should change.

We have now completed our electoral review of West Northamptonshire.

We are extremely grateful to the people of West Northamptonshire who took the time and effort to send us their views.

We considered every piece of evidence we received before finalising our recommendations

As a result of our recommendations for new warding patterns, we are making changes to the parish electoral arrangements for the following parish and town councils:

  • Boughton
  • Daventry
  • Hackleton
  • Kingsthorpe
  • Northampton

The changes we have proposed must now be approved by Parliament.

A draft Order – the legal document which brings into force our recommendations – will now be laid before Parliament.

The draft Order will provide for new electoral arrangements for West Northamptonshire to be implemented at the local elections in 2024.
