The Parish Council is responsible for - seats and benches, the village noticeboards, the telephone kiosks, and the Achurch war memorial.

North Northamptonshire Council is responsible for local services including housing, local planning, environmental health and refuse collections along with services such as highways, education, libraries, social services, strategic planning and refuse disposal.
