Milton Malsor - Governance

Governance

The village has a Parish Council with nine members elected every four years (next election 2015). The Parish Council area extends to include the M1 in the north between junctions 15 and 15a; to the east the A508 Northampton to Milton Keynes main road; to the south part of the West Coast Main Line and to the west the A43 Northampton-Oxford trunk road. The local district council is that of South Northamptonshire where Milton is in Harpole and Grange ward together with the villages of Gayton, Rothersthorpe, Harpole and Kislingbury which elects two members. The Northamptonshire County Council division has one member (Conservative).

The Member of Parliament from 2010 is Mr Chris Heaton-Harris, Conservative, for the Daventry Parliamentary Constituency. Prior to the 2010 General Election the village was in Northampton South Parliamentary Constituency. Initially the Boundary Commission wanted to move the village into the new parliamentary constituency of South Northamptonshire. However, as this was inconvenient for election administration purposes, the Boundary Commission put Milton with fellow ward villages in South Northants Council's "Harpole and Grange" ward into the Daventry Constituency previously held by Mr Tim Boswell who stood down at 2010 General Election.
