Due to the growth of the city since its electoral wards were last set in 2014, the Local Government Boundary Commission is undertaking a boundary review of Milton Keynes City Council’s electoral wards.
The Commission is the independent body that draws these boundaries. It is proposing 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 the exception of Tattenhoe. All wards will be represented by three councillors, who will represent about 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. The consultation is now live and ends on 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 reviews@lgbce.org.uk. Submissions can also be sent by post to Review Officer (Milton Keynes), LGBCE, 7th Floor, 3 Bunhill Row, London, EC1Y 8YZ.
The review will be completed before May 2026 when all Milton Keynes City Councillors will be up for election in accordance with the newly established wards.
