Parish Council Responsibilities - it can be confusing to know which council is responsible for what services in the village.
Parish and town councils are part of local government in Northamptonshire together with the North Northamptonshire Council. Each is responsible for different things.
The Parish Council is responsible for - for streetlighting, the bus shelter, seats and benches, the village noticeboard, the telephone kiosk, and some tree maintainance.
North Northamptonshire Council is responsible for local services including housing, local planning, environmental health and refuse collections, as well as strategic services such as highways, education, libraries, social services, strategic planning and refuse disposal.
