What Corby Borough Council does

Corby Borough Council was a local government authority in Northamptonshire, England, originally constituted in 1979 to provide statutory services to residents of the Corby area. Following the 2021 local government reorganisation in England, the council was dissolved and merged with East Northamptonshire, Kettering and Wellingborough councils to form the new unitary North Northamptonshire Council, which now delivers all successor services under the northnorthants.gov.uk domain.

The council's service portfolio spans the full statutory remit of an English local authority: council tax administration, waste and recycling collection, housing, planning, benefits, adult social care, libraries, schools, transport, parking, registrars (births, deaths and marriages), community safety, culture and tourism, environmental services, adult learning, parks and leisure, business licensing, children and families, health and wellbeing, electoral services and public consultations. Digital delivery is handled through a "My Account" citizen portal and a "Your Voice Matters" consultation platform, operating as standard web-based service channels with no disclosed proprietary technology layer.

Funding is derived from council tax, retained business rates and central government grants, in line with the standard English local government finance model. The entity is not a commercial operator and does not sell products or services into a competitive market; it is a publicly funded statutory provider with a captive, geographically defined user base of residents and businesses within North Northamptonshire.
