Northampton Town Council elections 2021: All the results for every ward in your area - and a few parish councils

The Labour Party has taken control of Northampton Town Council after the first ever election count today (Saturday, May 7).

In total, 17 Labour, seven Conservative and one Liberal Democrat councillors have been elected after the historic poll on Thursday.

Jane Birch, who was elected for Trinity ward for Labour and was the leader of her group on the shadow council, said she is really excited for the town council's future as the voice for Northampton.

"It's a town where the local residents have lost sight of the wonderful things that are in town and the wonderful buildings and they've forgotten the history," she told the Chronicle & Echo.

"So we need to bring that back to people's consciences and make them understand what a rich environment it is and hopefully we will beable to speak up for Northampton.

The new council was set up as part of the local government review for Northamptonshire, with Northampton Borough Council being abolished after 47 years on March 31.

The town council - the largest of its kind in the country - will be responsible for a range of services that the new unitary authority, West Northamptonshire Council, does not do like allotments, cemeteries and the mayoralty.

New Conservative councillor for Parklands, Mike Hallam said he was absolutely delighted to be elected having been elected yesterday for West Northamptonshire Council too.

"I think we have got some really good community champions elected and we're looking forward to working together one the new town council," he said.

"I think people are going to get behind them on the town council and we've preserved the things we wanted to preserve like the Guildhall and the mayoralty so these are exciting new times across the piece."

Northampton Town Council's only Liberal Democrat councillor, Dennis Meredith, who won in Talavera, hopes the authority will not be party-political and work collaboratively to improve the town.

He added that he hopes to eradicate fly-tipping in Talavera and is looking forward to serving as deputy mayor this year before becoming mayor in 2022.
