Welcome to Culworth Parish Council's website. Our aim is to give you easy access to information relating to both the Parish Council and the village itself.
The Council is currently made up of seven elected members from across our community. The Councillors bring a wide range of outside experience to their work and are ably supported by the Parish Clerk.
We represent a lively community fortunate enough to live in a beautiful part of Northamptonshire. Culworth is a thriving village with a primary school, popular pub, a butcher, and coffee shop. The village has come together memorably in the last few years to celebrate both local events and national milestones, and can doubtless support the development of other clubs and activities so that there is plenty to do and enjoy for everyone. The recent addition of the Children's Playground and Fitness Equipment on the Hill Field shows what can be achieved with enthusiasm and support from the Parish Council.
The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin serves the community as part of a group of parishes which also includes Chipping Warden, Edgcote, and Moreton Pinkney.
We hope you will enjoy exploring our website and find what you are looking for. If you don’t please tell us – the site is here to help you.

Neighbourhood Watch - Culworth is now part of the national Neighbourhood Watch network, giving residents the opportunity to work together to keep Culworth safe. By joining, you’ll receive regular updates on local crime, be part of a supportive community, and help deter crime through increased awareness. Neighbourhood Watch is also about looking out for one another and building stronger connections amongst neighbours. You can sign up or contact Amy Harrison (the scheme coordinator) for more information by following this link: https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/scheme/182785/culworth-neighbourhood-watch
Issues with Highways or Rights of Way - Please use the following Street Doctor/Fix My Street link to report any issues with highways or footpaths: https://www.westnorthants.gov.uk/roads-and-paths-maintenance/report-potholes-or-highway-problem. The website has multiple options depending on the type of issue you wish to raise. There are details of the more urgent issues that can be reported using a phoneline, but there is a specific list for this category. In general, the online reporting is dealt with promptly, depending on the severity of the issue.
St Mary's Church - Culworth is now in an interregnum (waiting for a new priest!). Please contact the churchwardens Jenny Howse or Martin Rowling for information about services.
Children's Play Area - Please note: Dogs are not allowed within the fenced off children's play equipment area whether on or off the lead. This should not be a surprise to anyone as it is a general rule for any fenced play equipment area.
Please be mindful of the need for parents or guardians to accompany their children when they are using the play equipment on the cricket field, and also that the Banbury Lane neighbours "over the fence" need to be able to enjoy their gardens without excessive noise disturbing the peace.
