Parish and town councils in West Northamptonshire

141 of the 165 parishes and charter trustees here set a precept for 2026-27. Band D in an area with no parish precept is about £2,379.31. The estimated bills add each parish part to the council's average charge; where a council charges special expenses or levies in part of its area the real bill differs, in the bills we checked by up to £34.

West Northamptonshire also charges special expenses in part of its area (£815,178 in all, £5.52 per Band D home on average across the council). The parish and no-parish figures here leave them out, because the statistics do not say which areas pay them, so where they apply the bill is higher. The council's own bill shows them.
