Town Council Elections - May 2025

Are you passionate about your local community?

Do you want to make a difference and play a part in the future of Daventry Town?

The Town Council wants people who can demonstrate a passion for their local community. You don't need any experience or special qualifications – your everyday skills and passion for the place you live are what make a good Town Councillor.

If you're 18 and over, registered to vote in Daventry or have lived and worked in Daventry for at least a year, you can apply.

Application details and deadlines to be advised in due course.

1. Getting involved locally: Councillors have responsibilities towards their residents and community. Their experience and expertise helps shape and develop the Town to make it a better place for everyone to live and work.

2. Decision-making: Councillors set the annual budget, and then, by attending meetings and committees with other elected members, decide where money should be spent, what services should be delivered and what policies should be implemented.

3. Monitoring: Councillors make sure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services by keeping a watchful eye on the Town, identifying its needs and opportunities.

Daventry is split into 4 wards - North, Central, East and West. Although the position is unpaid it is so rewarding in so many ways.

Further to a Community Governance Review (CGR) pursuant to Part 4, Chapter 3 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 undertaken by Daventry District Council in 2018, a Structural Change Order approved changes to the boundaries of the Parish of Daventry reducing the number of wards from 7 to 4 and Councillors from 17 to 16 (see map attached).
