The Lib Dem Focus Team at the site of the proposed expansion.
Some residents may remember the proposals five years ago to build 12,500 homes east of the M1. Now the same developer has come back with proposals for employment on the land between Newport Pagnell and the M1. The proposals, phased over 10 years, would create 18,000 new jobs, a mixture of large warehouses, offices and technology jobs.
Building east of the M1 is against the Council’s current plan, but the developer is trying to get that plan changed at the current Examination In Public of the ‘Core Strategy’ (The Council’s Strategic Plan).
Some people say this would be good for Milton Keynes bringing much needed new jobs, pumping £1.8Bn a year into the local economy and creating a new country park. Others say it would be bad for Newport Pagnell and clog up the roads in the area, but The Lib Dem Focus Team want to know what YOU think.
