Windmill is an electoral ward within the unitary authority of North Northamptonshire in England, covering predominantly residential neighbourhoods with pockets of small commercial and light industrial activity. It sits close enough to the surrounding countryside to benefit from green spaces and walking routes, while housing a mix of private and social housing that reflects both long‑standing families and newer commuters using nearby road links to larger employment centres.
Locally the ward has a quiet, community‑focused feel: small shops, primary schools and community groups play a part in everyday life, and local councillors concentrate on issues such as housing, local services and maintaining green areas. Its name hints at the parish and agricultural past of the area and it now forms part of the newer governance structure created when the unitary council was formed in 2021.
