My submission relates to the proposals for the area of Milton Keynes Council covered by my Milton Keynes South Parliamentary constituency; namely the existing 11 wards of Stony Stratford, Loughton Park, Emerson Valley, Furzton, Denbigh, Whaddon, Bletchley & Fenny Stratford, Eaton Manor, Woughton, Walton Park and Danesborough. I support the Commission’s proposed Tattenhoe and Woughton & Fishermead wards. However, I have proposed an alternative warding for the other areas of my seat. In addition, I have made suggestions for the remaining areas of Milton Keynes. This is simply to show that my proposals for the area covered by my constituency do not result in difficulties in composing wards in the rest of Milton Keynes. While I would argue that my proposals do reflect local communities and ties, other proposals may be preferable. For the MK South areas, I have been able to come up with an arrangement that preserves the “Western Flank” area (with the boundaries of the A5, A421 and the council boundary) and the Bletchley area (covered by Bletchley & Fenny Stratford Town Council and West Bletchley Parish) without a cross‐community ward that has attracted some criticism.
