District Councillors

Daventry District Council is composed of 36 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. There are 16 electoral wards in the district. Your local councillor is elected every 4 years to represent your area but Councillors can, of course, decide to submit themselves for re-election and continue to serve longer. To find your ward, please refer to the Councillors Directory below.

Councillor Development

In September 2007 Daventry District Council signed up to the East Midlands Regional Councillor Development Charter. The Charter aims to promote best practice in Councillor development and has an accreditation process set against standards which have been developed nationally. A Councillor Learning and Development Policy has been developed by Daventry District Council, together with an Implementation Plan. Putting these in place assists Councillors to identify their own development needs and to provide focussed learning and development within the requirements of the Council's corporate objectives.
