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 10am – 3 pm (except Wednesdays, when we are closed). We will be looking at opening on one evening a week and at the weekends as restrictions ease further.
PLEASE NOTE THAT DUE TO CURRENT GUIDELINES, OUR OFFICES ARE CURRENT CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC
More details on our ‘Contact Us’ page.
YOU CAN ACCESS OFFICERS, DOG BAGS, INFORMATION, ETC. VIA THE COMMUNITY FRIDGE, WHICH IS OPEN TUES AND THURS BETWEEN 10AM – 2PM
DUE TO THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT GUIDANCE, THE OFFICES ARE ONCE AGAIN CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THE FRIDGE AND LARDER REMAIN OPEN, BUT THE CAFE IS CLOSED UNTIL IT IS SAFE TO REOPEN
We hope that things will improve quickly and that we will be able to return to usual service, but due to high infection rates, pressures on the health service and guidance from both local and national government, we will be minimising contacts and access.
DUE TO THE IMPACT OF COVID19 AND CONCERNS REGARING SAFETY. FULL COUNCIL THAT WAS DUE TO TAKE PLACE ON 10TH JANUARY HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL 17TH JANUARY.

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
