Milton Keynes City Council have confirmed a review of the cities’ boundaries by the national government that is proposing an increase in its councillors.
The City Council’s electoral wards were last reviewed in 2014, and the Local Government Boundary Commission will now be undertaking a boundary review of Milton Keynes City Council’s electoral wards, upon which the boundaries are set to be redrawn.
The proposals by the independent commission is that the number of city councillors should be increased from 57 to 60, and the number of wards be increased from 19 to 20.
Most ward boundaries will change, with Tattenhoe the only one to remain in place as it was ten years ago. All wards will be represented by three councillors, who will represent roughly the same number of electors.
Following an initial consultation earlier this year, the Commission has drawn up further proposals and is encouraging residents and local organisations to share their feedback.
MK City Council have now opened the consultation, which will run until 24 February 2025.
Further information can be found on the review website, including an interactive map. Feedback can be submitted via the website or by emailing [email protected]. Submissions can also be sent by post to Review Officer (Milton Keynes), LGBCE, 7th Floor, 3 Bunhill Row, London, EC1Y 8YZ.
MK City Council have confirmed the review will be completed before May 2026, which is when all Milton Keynes City Councillors will be up for election in accordance with the newly established wards.
