Daventry District Council provides essential local services for the district, supporting the daily needs of our residents, businesses and visitors.
The Council is composed of 38 Councillors, each of whom is chosen to represent a defined ward by its electors. Elections are by thirds, which means that one third of the seats are subject to re-election in each of three successive years, and County Council elections are held every fourth year. A Councillor's term of office is therefore four years, but Councillors can, of course, decide to submit themselves for re-election and continue to serve longer.
The Leader of the Council is the Leader of the Administration, which is currently the Conservative Party. The Leader of the Council is Councillor Chris Millar.
