North Northamptonshire Council Community Governance Review – October 2025

North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) commenced a community governance review in September 2025, which is expected to conclude before the May 2029 local elections. The review is a formal process to assess and make recommendations regarding the electoral arrangements of town and parish councils in the area. 

• Timeline and process: Approval: The NNC’s Democracy and Standards Committee approved the review’s outline timetable at a meeting on October 7, 2024. The review officially started on September 1, 2025, with the publication of the terms of reference.
• Consultations: The process includes two ten-week consultation periods, allowing the public, parish councils, and other stakeholders to submit representations.
• Implementation: Recommendations from the review will be implemented in time for the May 2029 local government elections. 

Reasons for the review

• Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE): An earlier LGBCE review led to the North Northamptonshire (Electoral Changes) Order 2024, which altered some town and parish ward boundaries and councillor numbers. The community governance review offers a chance to consider and amend these arrangements.
• Population changes: The review will address population shifts and new developments, such as the Corby West Sustainable Urban Extension, which prompted Corby Town Council to express interest in expanding its boundaries.
• Hyper-devolution: The review’s findings will inform a separate project on hyper-devolution, which is examining what services could be devolved to parish and town councils. 

Potential outcomes

The review has the authority to recommend changes to community governance arrangements, including: 

• Altering parish and town council boundaries
• Adjusting the number of councillors for each area
• Creating, abolishing, or merging parishes
• Changing parish ward names and boundaries
