General progress update and revisions to Church Street proposals.
Progress Update
Milton Keynes City Council, working with TOWN, are continuing to refine the design of the scheme for construction with appointed contractors Wilmott Dixon. Over the coming weeks, there will be survey works taking place, including test pits to examine the ground conditions and inform the technical design. Early construction works will commence on site toward the end of 2024 and more significant construction works will commence in 2025.
Church Street public realm proposal updates
Milton Keynes City Council and TOWN carried out a public consultation on the Church Street public realm design proposal in October 2023. The feedback received from the local community was taken into consideration and the proposal has now been updated and finalised to reflect this.
Key changes to the design are the retention of car parking spaces and adjustment to the positioning of bus stands. There is also a proposal for a lay-by on St. George’s Way to serve the Church, subject to land ownership confirmation and council decision.
The design proposal can be viewed in detail below.
