Different Local Authorities do Different Things...

There are now two tiers of local government – the parish council and West Northamptonshire Council – that can (and in some cases must) deliver a range of public services. This page provides basic listings for the services provided by each tier.

Please note, Northamptonshire Highways is responsible for all matters pertaining to the local roads networks. Click here to visit the Northamptonshire Highways website.
