Thank you for visiting the Milton Keynes Partnership website. This website contains information about current projects and plans for Milton Keynes, as well as details of our public meetings which are great way for you to find out more, and to have your say. It is important to us that you can be involved in helping to shape our work and so please do get involved.
We’ve started 2010 on a high as Milton Keynes takes its place alongside the other big league places that have been selected as host cities for England’s World Cup 2018 bid.
This means that we’re potentially just one step away from having the world’s top footballers playing here in Milton Keynes before a global audience of millions.
There will also be massive benefits to local businesses in terms of inward investment, job creation and tourism and Milton Keynes will gain from the huge amount of prestige and profile-raising that the event inevitably brings with it.
Of course, we will be able to see world-class football right on our doorstep, enjoy much-improved local facilities and infrastructure and it’s likely that people of all ages will reap personal health benefits from the anticipated uptake in sports activities.
The World Cup experience has allowed different organisations to work very closely together on something that will have a positive impact on the region.Working in partnership is always a great aspiration and in Milton Keynes we have shown the positive benefits that this can achieve.
We will continue to work together with Milton Keynes Council and our other partners to keep things moving in the right direction and to maintain this momentum in 2010.
I hope you find the Milton Keynes Partnership website useful, and if you have any ideas how to make it more helpful, please get in touch.
