Our crews have been out this week resurfacing and repainting Sovereign Drive in Pennyland and Purbeck in Stantonbury.

Our tenants helped us to design a new contract to repair council properties. Six months in, 98% of ‘first time fix’ repairs are happening in one visit, and thousands of tenants have given the repair team five stars for satisfaction. Read more: milton-keynes.gov.uk/news/2026/tena…

Work begins on Phase 1 of the Town Deal Transport Hub project in Bletchley on 23 March. Princes Way will be closed between Saxon Street and Dukes Drive, with shops and the car park remaining open. Maps of the works and diversions are available here groundbreakingbletchleyandfenny.co.uk/resources/

Our crews have been replacing the ageing power cables that supply streetlights on V8/Marlborough Street. Multiple streetlights typically share the same power cable, so a single fault can make several lights go out. We’re replacing cables to make the streetlights more reliable.

@Natashabarnowl Hi Natasha, the bandstand won’t be relocated, and while we did look into moving it elsewhere it isn’t something the project or local organisations are able to support. You can find details on the footway‑parking prevention measures in the link groundbreakingbletchleyandfenny.co.uk/projects/publi…

@mkcouncil Are you planning to re-site the old bandstand? Also having been almost run over by a motorcyclist in the ‘pedestrian part’ of Bletchley town centre how are you going to stop cars and motorcycles contravening the designated pedestrian areas?

Queensway improvements are underway to create a more welcoming, thriving town centre. Local people and organisations want a more open, flexible space for events and markets so we’re removing the old bandstand on 23 March. groundbreakingbletchleyandfenny.co.uk #TownDeal #Bletchley #TownsFund
