WNC consultation about social housing provision has now closed

Published On: September 17, 2025By Gemma Bailey

Northamptonshire Partnership Homes (NPH) is an arms-length management organisation (ALMO) that manages West Northamptonshire Council’s housing services. NPH is wholly owned by West Northamptonshire Council (WNC).

At its Cabinet meeting on Tuesday 24th June, WNC recommended that its council housing provision be brought back under direct Council management instead of being managed by Northamptonshire Partnership Homes as an ALMO. The Cabinet approved this recommendation as a ‘minded-to decision’ in a phased manner, once a full independent consultation has taken place with tenants, residents, and stakeholders.

The consultation process has now closed. Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation on the future of housing services. West Northamptonshire Council will now work with the independent organisation who carried out the consultation to collate and analyse the results from both the tenant and leaseholder consultation and the wider public consultation.

The findings will be presented to West Northamptonshire Council’s Cabinet in November, where a final decision about the future of housing services will be made. In the meantime, please continue to contact us in the usual way by calling our Contact Centre on 0300 330 7003 for any housing-related enquiries or support.

We shall continue to post updates about the process on our website here.
