Welcome to the Broughton & Milton Keynes Village Parish Council Web Site!

The Parish Council serves the areas of Broughton, Atterbury, Milton Keynes Village, Middleton and Oakgrove. Our population is currently about 3,500 and is planned to rise to 5,000 by the middle of 2008 owing to the expansion within Broughton.

There are currently nine parish councillors for the three wards within the parish. They are Kat Deacon and a vacancy (Broughton/Atterbury ward), Alex Kidd, Peter Johnson, Ian Mitchell, John Cropley (Middleton ward), Jenny Brighton, Richard Peters, Lewis Bradley (Milton Keynes Village ward). All are contactable via the website or via our clerk Helen Ward, e-mail clerk@broughtonandmkv-pc.gov.uk

The Parish Council is funded by an annual precept, which is paid through Council Tax. Funds are used to maintain our assets, to pay the clerk and for the support and development of the environment, community projects and services. These assets include the sports pitches and pavilion, the allotments and paddock in Milton Keynes Village, and the village green.

In addition the Parish Council represents parishioners on matters both parochial and city wide, e.g. planning issues, new policies proposed by Milton Keynes Council and we have representatives on bodies such as the Milton Keynes Association of Urban Parish Councils, Parishes Assembly, school governing bodies, and the pavilion management committee.

We feel it is important to make parishioners aware of our role and we hope the website will help to disseminate information. We also support the production of the newsletter that is distributed to all houses several times a year, and post notices on the notice boards strategically placed throughout the parish. So keep a look out if you want to know what is current.

The public are welcome at all parish council meetings, which are held at 7.15pm on the first Monday in the month (except when there is a Bank Holiday and in August) in Milton Keynes Village Hall. Do come along and hear first hand about the variety of work we do.
