Governance
As a former village distinct from the town, it has its own Parish Council, unlike more recent 20th and 21st century suburbs of the town. In the 20th century the parish was merged with East Hunsbury, a rural area before development in the 1980s. However, the combined Wootton and Hunsbury Parish was demerged again in 2015; the Wootton part initially gaining the name "Wootton, Wootton Fields and Simpson Manor", before it was agreed that this was too cumbersome, and the parish was reverted to its original name, Wootton. The previous election was held on the 6th of may 2021. The next election is scheduled to be held in 2025.

The village is mostly in the Nene Valley ward of West Northamptonshire Council, with small parts of the parish in the Hackleton and Grange Park ward.

Demographics
The 2001 census showed there were 2,015 people living in the parish, 978 male, 1,037 female in 885 dwellings. The 2011 Census showed that the ward had expanded rapidly to 11,180. As of the 2021 census, there were 8,600 people living in wootton parish. 51% of which were female, 48% were male, and they were living in 3,000 households.

Facilities
There is a community centre, a recreation ground with multi-use games area, a Working men's club; opticians and a medical centre.

Wootton has two pub/restaurants – "The Yeoman of Old England" in the centre of what was the old village. The second, "The Queen Eleanor" together with a Premier Inn hotel are both on Newport Pagnell road near the Queen Eleanor junction of Mereway and the A45. There is a shop, butcher, chemist and a large Dobbies Garden Centre in Newport Pagnell Road. Waitrose also said they would like to build a supermarket on the road but this was opposed in a report commissioned by the West Northampton Development Corporation. However, in 2013, plans were approved for a new Waitrose store which was opened by Christmas, 2013.

The village primary school is Wootton County founded in 1873. A modern all-through Caroline Chisholm School for young people aged 4–19 is located on Wooldale Road. The private Northampton High School for girls is located along Newport Pagnell Road.
