What would you like to see? Woughton 2025 Survey

Why are we asking your views ?

2025 has seen huge changes globally and these will have a knock in impact on us, here in Woughton.
As your community council, we would love to hear your views on what you would like to see in the coming year(s).
Woughton Community Council provides a range of services and support to the 15,000ish people living within the parish, alongside the hundreds of people who work, attend school and visit the parish every day.
Each year, we ask you, our residents, what you would like to see us do. Whilst we can't do everything, we check every response and make sure that everybody who contributes has their views heard.
Over the last year, following your feedback, we have:
· Opened the new Health and Wellbeing Hub, providing space for local groups to deliver essential services, as well as providing a warm, welcoming space for residents to get support on a wide range of issues.
· Continued to develop the community garden, with a range of activities and events. Pumpkin Patch, RSPB bird watching days, community meals, the Wheelie Big Picnic, Apple Day and more.
· Expanded support to families through the Holiday Activity Fund, with more spaces than ever before being used to offer activities and lunches to people over the schools holidays
· Provided support for Resident Associations and other community groups, meaning that hundreds of people have been able to have coach trips, fun days and really local activities, bringing fun and enjoyment to the parish
· Continued to make improvements to the environment, with refurbished play areas, improved pavements and pathways, cleaner signs, more dog waste bins, more landscaping with better equipment.
· Seen our CCTV cameras move around the parish, helping the police and others with evidence and helping residents to feel safer
· And continued to deliver all the other things that Woughton Community Council is known for; community food including the fridges, larders and cafes, youth services, environmental and landscaping, community centres, advice and wellbeing support, events, community activities and development, training, planning responses, consultation feedback, policy development, partnerships work, committee and full council meetings, councillor surgeries and drop ins - a long list of things that we just get on with!
And this year, we have done this alongside being recognised as a ‘Quality Council’ by the Local Council Awards Scheme, bringing in a balanced budget and a clean audit and continuing to work across the city to build stronger communities.
These things are things we have done because you have asked us to. CCTV, health and wellbeing activities, things for working people to be involved in, improvements to the estates - these are all things that you have said you want to see and, working with councillors and partners, we have been able to deliver them. So what comes next?
Please tell us what matters most to you and what you would like in the future

We listened to your feedback and have started some new things and continued with some projects that you supported. Of the things listed, what is important to you?
5.We know that finances are tight for everyone and we know that we will have cuts to our core funding next year (a loss of around 6%). We also know that many people value the services we provide but don't like paying taxes. Let us know what matters to you in terms of any rise in the small part of council tax that comes to Woughton.

Please note that your council tax is mostly MK City Council, with smaller parts to Woughton and to Thames Valley Police and the Fire service. This is ONLY about the part that comes to Woughton Community Council for the services noted above.
