FINANCE ARCHIVES
Each year, Woughton Community Council raises income, creates a budget and then spends money on providing services and support to the local community. This page holds archives of previous years reports, for current year finances click below.
We bring income in from a variety of sources, including the precept – this is an amount that is part of Council Tax that provides income towards the services we provide. For information about the precept, you can visit the Milton Keynes Council website HERE. A full list of parish precepts is available HERE.
We will also publish details of our spending each month (in line with the law), give updates as we develop the budget for next year and details of the budget consultation, once we start that.
Documents are shown here for the 2021/2022 Council year (which runs from May – May each year), older finances can be seen by calling into the Office (Woughton Community Council Hub, Garraways, Coffee Hall).
2024 / 2025 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Alongside the budget information, we also share details of the 'precept' - this is the amount collected via Council Tax that goes towards the costs of running Woughton Community Council and the services that are provided.
THE AGREED PRECEPT FOR 2023/24 IS £813,612.00,
This is an increase of 15% with a Band D charge of £315.02
This increase reflects the challenging position that the council faces, especially as a local council that provides high levels of services and therefore, significant staffing costs. With the precept increase in 2023/24 being below inflation levels and failing to cover the increases in wage costs, a larger increase was needed to ‘catch up’ and ensure reserves were maintained to a safe level.
