Daventry District Council

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Daventry District Council is signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant in partnership with various other organisations including local councils, police, members of the voluntary sector and the civilian community of Northamptonshire.

This is a voluntary statement of mutual support between the civilian community here in Daventry and its local armed forces community. Our purpose is to recognise and remember the sacrifices made by the members of the armed forces living in the local community, particularly those who have given the most.

About us

Defined by its beautiful West Northamptonshire countryside setting and strategically placed at the centre of the national road network, Daventry District provides a rare and sought-after balance of urban and rural lifestyles.

The district covers more than 250 square miles and is made up of the historic market town of Daventry, and 78 villages, contributing to its distinctive character and rural charm. Latest figures give a district population of about 79,000, with approximately 25,000 living in Daventry town itself. The health of people in Daventry District is generally better than the England average and crime levels are low. 

Daventry District is located in a place where the economic strength of London and the South East meets reasonable land and house prices. Daventry town is growing fast, with the current population expected to grow to 40,000 by 2026.
