If you would like to place an item on the agenda for the Annual Parish Meeting (20th April 2023) for discussion with your fellow members of the electorate, please notify the parish clerk by 31st March 2023.

In the event that an agenda item is nominated, a formal meeting will be held as part of the Stanwick 'Green Event' on Thursday 20th April 2023 in Stanwick Village Hall 7.00pm to 9.00 pm.

For information:

There is a requirement in law that an Annual Parish Meeting must be held in each parish between 1st March and 1^st June each year.

This is not a Parish Council meeting.

If the chair of the Parish Council is present, then this person must chair the Annual Parish Meeting. If this person is not present, there are various rules for appointing a chairman.

The parish meeting has the general power to discuss parish affairs and pass resolutions thereon. Such resolutions are not binding on the Parish Council.

Are you a mature driver (aged 60+)?  Live in Northamptonshire?  Rely on being able to drive?  This FREE roadshow is for you!

Driving is an important part of our everyday life and we (Northamptonshire Safer Roads Alliance (NSRA)) are keen to help to keep mature drivers driving safer for longer.

Our driving ability to drive changes over time for different reasons, especially as we get older. It’s important that we recognise whether and how our driving is changing so we can stay safe and protect both ourselves and those around us.

This Mature Drivers Roadshow is aimed at drivers 60+, and will cover all different aspects of driving. There will be a short talk and then plenty of time to meet informally with our many stand holders. Free advice will be available on car adaptions, eyesight, how your prescription medications may affect you, and much more.

There will be FREE IAM RoadSmart Mature Driver Assessments available to be booked.

Our aim is to keep mature drivers driving safer, for longer.

The event is being held at Police Headquarters, Wootton Hall, Northampton NN4 0JQ (https://what3words.com/bill.necks.boxer) with two sessions, 9.30am and 1.00pm.

The Parish Council is financed by the ‘precept’. It is a ‘national’ local tax that only applies to a specific authority area, for example Stanwick. It is collected by North Northants Council with the other local taxes due, such as council tax, Police Fire & Crime levy.

The precept is collected according to the ‘banding’ of council tax on properties between April and January in 10 monthly installments.

Each year the Parish Council looks at its financial position and sets a budget for the coming year before working out how much the precept as a total figure should be.

The amount of precept in Stanwick has remained at the same level since the financial year 2019-20.

During the current financial year, 2022 to 2023, the Parish Council has incurred significant one off costs including repairs to the church boundary wall (£12,100.00), repairs to the path from Spencer Parade and Mansfield Street (£4214.00), repairs to the safer surfacing under the play equipment at the recreation ground (£4517.00) in addition to our expected costs.

The Parish Council has made the decision to increase the total amount of precept for the coming financial year. We know that with rising inflation everything is costing more and this will increase our ground maintenance costs and repair bills. We know that we are likely to have significant repair bills for the church path. We need to set money aside for future repairs costs.

On paper, the total percentage increase of the precepts looks very large, but in reality taken as an average across all households, it equals approximately £1.30 per house per month extra. It should be acknowledged that the Stanwick precept has not increased for the past four tax years and this increase is also, in part, due to the fact the level has been held down since 2019.

Any person having difficulty with making their council tax payments should speak to North Northants Council as the Parish Council is not involved in collecting the money due.

Vandals have ripped the branches from the Queen's Cherry Tree.

This has been reported to the Police. It is thought to have happened during the evening/night of 4th Feb. If anyone has any information, cctv or dashcam footage, please email  This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Northants Police want to know about the issues that matter most to you in the area where you live and work by completing a short survey. The information you give them will help identify the local neighbourhood policing priorities for area. 

They would like to know about any crime or anti-social behaviour that is causing you concern and if there is anything specific you would like them to focus on. They would also like to know how safe you feel when out and about in your neighbourhood and whether you think the police are doing a good job at tackling local crime and disorder.

The survey takes just a few minutes and they would really appreciate you taking the time share your views. The more feedback they get, the better they can understand what the issues are for local people.
