Welcome

To Woughton Community Council

Woughton Community Council is the council closest to the residents in the parish of Woughton. The Community Council is here to support residents by representing their views on issues affecting them. We provide environmental and community facilities. On our website you will find information about Woughton Community Council’s services, as well as news about upcoming events and projects.

You can also get information at our office, based in the Local Centre on Coffee Hall. We are open each weekday between 9am – 5 pm (except Friday, when we close at 4pm and Wednesday, when we close at 1pm for staff training). More details on our ‘Contact Us’ page.

PLEASE NOTE OUR OFFICES ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED – PLEASE CONTACT US VIA PHONE / EMAIL 

Coronavirus

For information about Covid-19 (known as coronavirus) and the steps that Woughton Community Council are taking, click HERE

Following advice from Central Government and in line with safety precautions, as from 17th March 2020 the following actions have been taken to protect local residents and staff and help reduce the impact of the virus:

• Our buildings (Hub, No 95, all community centres) closed with immediate effect. 
• All public facing services (advice, wellbeing, youth, Community Fridge, Community Café) stopped operating any public access sessions . Services will remain accessible via email, phone and Skype, where suitable.
• All meetings with external partners are postponed or will take place online

This is clearly a difficult time and these decisions have not been taken lightly. We have to protect our staff, our councillors, our residents and those we come into contact with. Whilst many of us don’t fall within the ’high risk’ categories, many of us do and the need to protect everyone is paramount.

Annual Returns

As part of our governance and to make sure that we are compliant with all the laws and rules around local councils, each year we provide an ‘Annual Governance and Accountability Return’ (sometimes known as an AGAR) to external auditors. Local electors have a right to see this return and, if requested, to see our accounts, etc..
