  • ANNEX a to ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy
    ANNEX A TO ITEM 8 Central Bletchley Regeneration Strategy - Executive Summary Key Principles Use & activities Currently, Bletchley town centre remains comparatively unattractive to property developers and occupiers. The environment is out dated and creates a negative image for the town and its communities; reducing its ability to attract significant investment. This in turn has led to less people using the centre, creating lower expenditure and investment within the town. Bletchley needs to move forward from its existing primary role as a discount and value retailing location and strengthen its role as the second centre for the city of Milton Keynes. The challenge for the Framework is to create the conditions for Bletchley to promote itself as a place quite distinctive from the rest of Milton Keynes, yet complementary to CMK in its scale and richness of uses and activities. Achieving this will require the town to increase the diversity, quality and range of uses and activities offered in the centre. The Framework promotes the growth of key uses and activities including diversified mixed-use development; new retailing opportunities; residential town centre living; an evening economy with a range of restaurants, bars and cafes; employment opportunities to stimulate appropriate town centre employment; a new leisure centre and cultural and civic uses to fulfil Central Bletchley’s role as the city’s second centre. Access and Movement Pedestrian movement and cycle access throughout Central Bletchley is severely constrained by highly engineered road infrastructure, the railway station and sidings and through severance of Queensway caused by the Brunel Centre. Congested double roundabouts at Watling Street and Buckingham Road offer poor arrival points into the town and restrict car access into Bletchley.

  • IRON ROUTE - Romans, Rivers, Trams and Trains Full Route - 9.5 Miles 5 Mile Break Point Estimated Walk Time: 3-4 Hours Estimated Cycle Time: 2-3 Hours
    IRON ROUTE - Romans, Rivers, Trams and Trains Full route - 9.5 miles 5 mile break point Estimated walk time: 3-4 Hours Estimated cycle time: 2-3 hours Get active and explore Milton Keynes with our Cultural Routes Route Description: Whether you walk cycle or run, this route has something for everyone, showcasing the very best of Milton Keynes’ arts and heritage to be discovered in the northwestern area of the city, including Stony Stratford and Wolverton. We suggest starting at Wolverton Train Station for those coming by train or via the Redway network. Alternatively, park in the Ouse Valley Car Park off Newport Road, and proceed in an anti-clockwise direction on the Sustrans National Route 6 through the Ouse Valley Park. As you pass through the Floodplain Forest Nature Reserve, following the contours of the River, be sure to look out for the wild Konik ponies introduced in 2017. If you are completing the shorter 5 mile version you will leave the route just before the Iron Trunk Aqueduct and head back to Wolverton, joining the main route at Stratford Road. If you are completing the full 9.5 mile route, you will continue along the leisure path into Stony Stratford Nature Reserve, finally departing The Parks Trust land at Millfield and head along Willow Lane into Silver Street. You will pass the Stony Stratford market square and Wall Mural by Zoe Maslen (2016), before crossing the original Roman Road – Watling Street. Don’t forget to explore the Old Tram Sheds before heading out of Stony Stratford back to Wolverton.

    Understanding Historic Parks and Gardens in Buckinghamshire The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust Research &Recording Project Stony Stratford Cemetery, Calverton Road October 2020 Roland Callingham Foundation 0 Bucks Gardens Trust: Stony Stratford Cemetery, Milton Keynes, October 2020 HISTORIC SITE BOUNDARY 1 Bucks Gardens Trust: Stony Stratford Cemetery, Milton Keynes, October 2020 2 Bucks Gardens Trust: Stony Stratford Cemetery, Milton Keynes, October 2020 INTRODUCTION Background to the Project This site dossier has been prepared as part of The Buckinghamshire Gardens Trust (BGT) Research and Recording Project, begun in 2014. This site is one of several hundred designed landscapes county‐wide identified by Bucks County Council (BCC) in 1998 (including Milton Keynes District) as potentially retaining evidence of historic interest, as part of the Historic Parks and Gardens Register Review project carried out for English Heritage (now Historic England) (BCC Report No. 508). The list is not definitive and further parks and gardens may be identified as research continues or further information comes to light. Content BGT has taken the Register Review list as a sound basis from which to select sites for appraisal as part of its Research and Recording Project for designed landscapes in the historic county of Bucks (pre‐1974 boundaries). For each site a dossier is prepared by volunteers trained by BGT in appraising designed landscapes. Each dossier includes the following for the site: • A site boundary mapped on the current Ordnance Survey to indicate the extent of the main part of the surviving designed landscape, also a current aerial photograph. • A statement of historic significance based on the four Interests outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework and including an overview.

  • Wards of Olney Keys Left in Vehicles? Traka21 Takes Control
    Wards of Olney Keys left in vehicles? Traka21 takes control Experience a safer and more open world Case Study Wards of Olney are Buckinghamshire’s largest Independent Removal and Storage Company, also operating in Milton Keynes, Bedford & Northampton, UK. Wards is an established name in both commercial and residential removals, undertaking work for many large organisations such as the NHS, ranging from small office removals to large clinics, to helping families to move house in a stress free a way. Requirement Key control of fleet vehicles has always been a headache for Wards. On some occasions, members of staff were leaving keys hidden in the vehicle, resulting in considerable amounts of time being lost searching for keys and missed appointments. Wards needed a system to account for all their keys. In addition to these requirements, Wards also needed control over who could access their exterior storage containers. Why Traka21 Traka21’s innovative plug and play system provides the very latest in intelligent key management. Simple, efficient and cost effective, Traka21 helps trace and account for every key or keyset, which is individually locked in place, ensuring that critical business operations are never jeopardised. Since the introduction of Traka21, Wards has seen a dramatic improvement in efficiency around managing and controlling their keys. Drivers are no longer searching for keys and have become more accountable for keys they are using. “We have found Traka21 to be a great tool for our business. With Traka21, we can keep tabs on who had what and when, and it also helps us in accounting for what hours they have worked.
