Consultation and Making Your Voice Heard
“Effective ‘Consultation’ generates an extensive range of options and opinions, ensuring decisions are as representative as possible of the views of our local community.
The results generated from a ‘Consultation’ need careful analysis and organisations like local government bodies should take these factors into consideration throughout to influence their decision-making process.”
Do you care about Daventry?
Do you worry about how the regeneration proposals will affect our Town?
Do you have a view about the proposed Canal Arm and Marina development or the Personal Rapid Transport System (POD)?
Do you have a view on any other local issues?
If you do, Daventry Town Council wants to hear from you – we need your views to be loud and clear.
Daventry Town Council Consults the People of Daventry
Earlier this year, Daventry Town Council was asked by the West Northamptonshire Development Corporation (WNDC) - the planning authority for large scale developments in the area, to suggest how monies raised through Section 106 could be spent to enhance and improve the town we live in. Section 106 money is a levy on developers to assist with the provision of infrastructure outside the development site (e.g. highway improvements and community facilities.)
Subsequently, the Town Council consulted with the people of Daventry, through its newsletter, ‘The Town Crier’, to find out what facilities residents and businesses felt were important in the development of their Town. The results of the survey were forwarded to the WNDC in the hope that it would influence their decision-making process.

Daventry Town Council continues to consult by listening and recording your comments generated via our newsletter, this website and ‘Walkabout Talkabout’ (the Mayor’s street surgeries).
By analysing your additional comments, we’ve created a graph which gives a clear indication of the
views of the Daventry people.
