West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) is the single unitary council responsible for providing a range of public services to residents and businesses in the areas of Daventry, Northampton and South Northamptonshire. 

On April 1 2021, West Northamptonshire Council replaced Daventry District Council, Northampton Borough Council and South Northamptonshire Council, and now delivers all the services which were previously provided by these councils.

You can access WNC at one of their monthly drop in sessions. Housing officers and the local Citizens Advice branch will be based in the centre of Brackley Library on the last Friday of every month from 10:00 to 12:00.
