Woodstock Town Council · 2028 election
Our Town, Our Future, Your Say
We are independent volunteers with individual views, working together in the common cause of improving Woodstock. We want to offer a full slate of independent candidates for Woodstock Town Council in 2028 — working to a set of commitments you can hold us to.
The goal — all twelve seats on Woodstock Town Council
A handful of us have started. There's room for plenty more — and you don't have to want a seat to be part of it.
Our ways of working
This is what joining Independents for Woodstock means.
Not a vague list of values, but a set of specific things we commit to — and that you'd be signing up to as well. Hold us to them.
If We can't change it, we'll say so.
We'll be honest about what the Town Council controls and what doesn't belong to us — and we'll focus our energy where it can actually make a difference. We will invest time in councillor skills training via the Oxfordshire Association of Local Councils (OALC) to make sure we operate correctly.
If We write it down, we'll publish it.
Agendas, minutes, and financial reports published within 14 days of every meeting — no exceptions.
If We resolve it, we'll deliver it.
Every resolution we make will have a named owner and a review date. We won't pass the same motion twice.
If We spend it, we'll account for it.
Every pound of public money should produce something a resident can point to. We'll publish an annual account of what we did with it.
If We get it wrong, we'll own it.
When we get things wrong, we'll say so plainly and explain what we're doing differently.
If We meet, you can speak.
Public participation at every meeting, with a full record of who said what — not “Speaker 1.”
If We disagree, we'll record it — then commit.
We won't always agree with each other. When we vote, we'll record how each of us voted. Then we'll get on with implementing the decision.
“As independent candidates with individual views, we will work together in the common cause of improving Woodstock.”
