Woburn Sands (/ˈwoʊbərn/) is a town that straddles the border between Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire in England, and is part of the Milton Keynes urban area.[2] The larger part of the town is in Woburn Sands civil parish, which is in the City of Milton Keynes,[3] Smaller parts of the town are in the neighbouring parishes of Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath (in Central Bedfordshire).[1] The meandering boundary between Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire means the Lower and Middle Schools that serve all of the town are both in Aspley Guise CP. Bedfordshire Police and Thames Valley Police both deal with law enforcement issues in the town. At the 2011 Census, the population of the civil parish (only) was 2,916,[1] that of the built-up area (including much of Aspley Guise) was 5,959.[4] Woburn Sands, Aspley Guise and Aspley Heath each has its own centre but together the three settlements are a contiguous built-up area.[1]
