Woughton Futures - your views matter

Over the last year, this has meant that, following your feedback, we have: 

 

- Increased the number of events, focusing on those that are suitable for everyone, young and old (community cinema, disco bingo, Coronation, Jubilee, community cafes) 

 

- Worked with Crimewave to obtain CCTV cameras which will be used across the parish over the next three years to try and address issues such as anti-social behaviour, fly tipping, parking issues and other issues 

 

- Increased cutting back of shrubbery to try and improve visibility and reduce the amount of litter / vermin within the bushes (this is ongoing - they just keep growing!) 

 

- Worked with MKCC to try and address parking issues across the parish. This has not resulted in as much as we hoped, but we will continue to push for more improvements 

 

- Updated dog waste bins and increased the number of waste bin within the parish. This will continue with more new bins planned 

 

- Made some changes to mowing and planting, to help increase biodiversity and bring greater benefits to nature. 

 

- Created a 'flood kit' - equipment to help reduce the risks, mange the situation and recover more quickly if flooding happens again (this includes wet / dry vacuums, inflatable sandbags, water diversion equipment, dehumidifiers, etc.) 

 

There are things that we can't do - roads, street lights, rubbish collections, schools, social care - these are all MKCC services and whilst we will assist where we can, we cannot do the work ourselves. We continue to offer the wide range of support that we always have - advice, wellbeing, youth services, landscaping, environment team, community grants, training and education, community centres and more.
