Municipal Offices, Sheerness House, 41 Meadow Road, Kettering NN16 8TL  

The councillors elected to the Ward of Desborough (to which we now belong) are David Howes, Mike Tebbutt and Mark Dearing.  David has been the councillor for Welland ward for some time and the proposal is that his focus in his expanded role will continue to be the rural Welland area.

Bin Collection

Emptied every Thursday. The bins need to be put out on Wednesday nights or early Thursday as it’s usually an 8.30am collection. Bins are emptied alternate weeks with the household waste (black) collected one week and then recycling e.g. cardboard, bottles & paper (blue) the next. Watch your neighbour to ensure you get it right or click here for the link to the council website. 

Garden Waste

The new regime started on 1st April 2023. You need to go the North Northants waste services website to sign up and pay for your green garden waste (grey/green bin). This goes out the same week as the blue bin. A sticker will be provided once the £40 has been paid. Note: You could organise a private arrangement to share with your neighbour. Click the link here.
