Help us shape our New City Plan by sharing your experiences of how you use your local neighbourhood.
The New City Plan is an important planning document which will describe the environment needed to deliver our ‘Strategy for 2050’. The Strategy, which was finalised two years ago following extensive public consultation, sets out a bold and ambitious vision for our city, including equal opportunities, new jobs, affordable and ‘lifelong’ homes that suit people at all stages of their life, and a pioneering mass rapid transit system.
We will be holding a series of specialist workshops and groups over the next year, as well as running surveys around specific themes. This week, we published a survey in which we want you to tell us how you use your local neighbourhood, such as whether it’s easy to shop, take children to school, and enjoy green space; what changes would improve mental and physical health; and what would make you more likely to use local facilities. It runs until 23 February next year. Click to take part.
We’re also gathering feedback on an early draft of what’s called a ‘design code’ for Milton Keynes. Design codes are used by planners to set standards for how communities should be designed, thinking about what makes a place attractive, distinctive, and high quality. This consultation closes on 19 January next year. Click to take part.
A previous survey asking for views on how Milton Keynes may be impacted by climate change, and how we could address this, closes shortly on 28 November. Click to take part.
