Badby Village

Nominations for elections to the Parish Council closed on Thursday, 8 April.  As there are nine seats on the Council and nine valid nominations were received, a contested ballot on 6 May is not required.  The Returning Officer of West Northamptonshire Council has issued the attached Notice of Uncontested Election, and the nine persons named have been duly elected Parish Councillors for Badby. 

The term of office of the new Council will start on Monday, 10 May and the existing Council will remain in office until that same date.  A warm welcome to the new councillors, and many thanks to those existing Councillors who did not stand for re-election, for their service and valued contributions during their time in office.

Local elections will still take place in Badby on Thursday 6th May, to elect 3 representatives for the Woodford and Weedon ward of the new unitary West Northamptonshire Council, and for the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.  Full details can be found on the West Northamptonshire Council website at www.westnorthants.gov.uk/councillors-and-democracy/elections-2021 .

Voting will take place on Thursday, 6 May at Badby Village Hall in a COVID-secure way.  If you do not wish to visit a polling station, you can apply to vote by post or proxy.  The deadline for applications for a postal vote is 5 pm on Tuesday, 20 April.  The deadline for applications for a proxy vote is 5 pm on Tuesday, 27 April. For more details see www.westnorthants.gov.uk/councillors-and-democracy/how-vote .

NB: Whichever way you wish to vote, you must be on the electoral register.  The deadline for registering to vote in the elections in May is Monday, 19 April.

At its meeting on 18^th March 2021, Daventry District Council adopted new conservation area boundaries and the conservation area appraisal for Badby.

The appraisal has been adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) and as such is a material consideration in the determination of planning decisions affecting the special interest of the conservation area.

The appraisal, adoption notice and statement of consultation will be uploaded to the Council’s website in due course. If you have any questions in the meantime, please contact heritage@daventrydc.gov.uk.

Any person with sufficient interest in the decision to adopt the SPD may apply to the High Court for permission to apply for judicial review of that decision. Any such application must be made promptly and in any event not later than six weeks after 18^th March 2021.

Yours faithfully,

Rhian Morgan

As you and other residents start to receive your Council Tax bills and other communications from us, you may have noticed that things are now coming from the new West Northamptonshire Council, rather than Daventry District Council. 

From 1 April, West Northamptonshire Council will replace Daventry District Council and the County Council. It will therefore be responsible for providing all public services in the area. 

We appreciate this may well cause confusion or questions, so we wanted to provide the attached leaflet to help answer any questions you may have:

If you have any further queries, please don’t hesitate to contact the new Council from
1 April on tel. 0300 126 7000 or visit www.westnorthants.gov.uk These new contact details will only be active from 1 April, so please continue to Daventry District Council until then. 

Many thanks,
