Annual Governance Statement and Reporting
Following the Extraordinary Full Council Meeting that took place on 22nd June, we have now published our ‘Notification of Public Rights’ (you can find that HERE) alongside the budget and the Annual Return that will follow.
Any queries, please do let us know.
Annual Service Plan
Each year, we create a plan that determines the activities and actions that we aim to achieve. The plan runs from April to March (the financial year for us) and includes a whole range of things that help the council do what we are set up to do – help local people make Woughton great. The plan for the coming year was agreed and ratified at Full Council in January and covers the period from April 2021 – March 2022
You can find the plan at https://www.woughtoncommunitycouncil.gov.uk/services/the-annual-service-plan/

Coronavirus

With the move to fewer restrictions in place, we have reopened all our buildings, but are asking people to remain vigilant and maintain the safe behaviours that have become so common place – masks whilst in busy, confined spaces, hand sanitiser use, etc..
We will be working to get back to some sort of normal over the coming weeks and will keep you updated on anything essential. Please stay safe, look after yourselves and enjoy the summer.

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..
You can find our annual returns for the past year HERE
