Milton Keynes Council To Receive Over £22m To Deliver Investment Projects
Milton Keynes Council is to receive over £22million of national funding to deliver investment projects in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford.
The investment also includes almost £4m for a transport hub.
The formal award of the funding follows MK Council securing Government 'Town Deal' funding for Bletchley and Fenny Stratford last year to bring major improvements to the area through several key projects. Demolition of the former Bletchley Fire Station has already been completed and new Redways are being added to the area.
Some of the key projects include:
• Transport Hub – creation of a new eastern entrance at Bletchley Station, improving access from the town centre
• Tech Park Bletchley – based at MK College, the new skills and training hub will provide better learning and development opportunities to improve life chances
• Town Centre improvements – improvements to the appearance, attractiveness and safety of Bletchley and Fenny Stratford town centres
• New redway links – better connections between Newton Leys and the Lakes Estate to Central Bletchley.
Other projects include a major transformation of Bletchley Park to maintain its attraction to visitors and the full roll out of fibre connectivity.
Leader of MK Council, Cllr Pete Marland said: "This is a really exciting list of projects and will be welcomed news for Bletchley and Fenny Stratford residents. We have big ambitions for the area and this funding is just the starting point of where we want it to go. My thanks go out to everyone who helped secure the deal and I look forward to working with the community as we bring these projects to life."
