The information given in this section is applicable and limited to the post of parish and town councillor

The pages in this section have been developed following a consultation with parish and town Clerks as well as parish meeting groups across West Northamptonshire.

Here you will find further guidance, information and documentation to support you in your role. We have created a resource library that has moved many of the frequently requested documents online. Within the resource library, you will be able to download template documents alongside step-by-step guidance.

We will continue to review and update this content. Therefore, if clerks would like to see any additional resources made available from us, please submit requests to [email protected]. Please note, we can only consider requests for additional information on the webpages that fall under the scope of Electoral Services or are related to Elections. We are unable to host information relating to other departments within West Northamptonshire Council.
