Milton Keynes set to become ‘Megacity’

07 March 2007

Investment in transport improvements will drive Milton Keynes’ transformation into the biggest city in the southeast by 2031.
Milton Keynes will see 48,850 new homes built in the next 20 years, with transport investment ‘essential’ to support this growth, the South East England Regional Assembly (SEERA) told this week’s Examination in Public hearings into the South East Plan.
Cllr Keith Mitchell, chairman of the Assembly, said: ‘Milton Keynes is entering a new phase of long-term growth becoming the biggest city in the south east, comparable to the size of Cardiff. ‘We have the framework, so the next big challenge is to deliver the planned economic and cultural development, backed up by infrastructure to make that growth sustainable. ‘This will need long-term investment in public transport, schools, health and other local services.’
