The Parish Council
Yelvertoft Parish Council has 9 members and employs a Clerk (The Proper Officer). Details of the Parish Councillors can be found in the Parish Councillors section of this website. The Parish Council, established in 1894, manages amongst many other things the street lighting, climate/environment, bins, the Cemetery, and also liaises with various departments at West Northamptonshire Council to deal with issues raised by residents and improve the village environment. Please see ‘Responsibilities’ under the ‘The Parish Council’ tab. The Parish Council is consulted on all planning matters in the village, and several of the Councillors form the planning Committee. Links to planning applications can be found under ‘Planning’ again under ‘The Parish Council’.
