It will reduce from 93 to 76
The number of West Northamptonshire unitary councillors will reduce from 93 to 76 at the next local elections in 2025. It is under the final recommendations of a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England .
It means that from 2025 WNC councillors would be elected on a four-year term across 35 wards instead of the current 31 – comprising 13 three-councillor wards, 15 two-councillor wards, and seven single-councillor wards.Other recommended changes by the Commission include creating two single councillor wards in the north of Daventry and merging two draft recommendation wards in the south-west of the area to form a two-councillor Middleton Cheney ward.
“Their conclusions strike a fair balance in making sure the number of councillors and electoral ward patterns reflect the democratic needs of our residents and support our council more effectively in representing communities, delivering council business and providing efficient governance.
