Since our last edition we have been busy and have lots to tell you about. In a first for the Council I am pleased to inform you that we have now taken over the ownership of Browns Wood Sports Ground from Milton Keynes Council through the Community Asset Transfer scheme. This presents many opportunities for the Council, some of which you may be aware of, like the building of a Pavilion and enhancing the play facilities. Walton Community Council’s Events Working Party has also been busy throughout the summer organising events for the community, including the Family Fit and Fun day and our Summer Fayre. Both events were well attended, especially the recent Summer Fayre, and although it had to be held indoors due to the windy weather, this did not seem to dampen the community spirit. A big thank you goes out to all of our residents for supporting this event, but we would especially like to thank MK Snap for letting us have full 1 www.waltoncommunitycouncil.gov.uk Striving to improve our community use of their facility which helped to make the day a success.

  • Consultation Responses
    Consultation Responses Please find below a representative selection of responses to the Budget Consultation so far. For full copies or further details of the correspondence summarised below please contact Sarah Harwood, Policy Assistant. A. General A1. ‘I understand that an 11.1% rise in Council tax is planned for 2004/5. This is on top of rises well above the rate of inflation for the next six years, totalling an increase of about 70% since the 1998/9 bill! I feel your advert is unfair in laying the blame at the door of government. How can the required budget for MK rise from £140m in 1997/8 to £240m now? The local population clearly hasn’t risen anywhere near this proportion. The people of MK are virtually blackmailed emotionally by having stark choices presented to them’ A Member of the Public A2. ‘The proposed increase is excessive in the extreme. Any increase should not exceed inflation and preferably there should be none at all with the Council pruning its costs and curtailing its, often unnecessary, interventions. If the Council believe it can make £1m of efficiency savings, surely it has significantly overspent in earlier years. In light of this, there must be substantial room for further cuts. Demand on services should not be allowed to increase and the full economies available from increased growth utilised, also increased pension costs should be reduced by ceasing the current pension scheme arrangements. Further to this: Why provide black sacks at all? Cease purchase of audio-visual equipment for libraries, reduce grants for voluntary organisations, restrict payments to councillors, reduce payments to the MK theatre to zero.

  • CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU (CAB) 25,000 People Used the Service in the Last Year
    ANNEX TO ITEM 9 (i) GRANT AID CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU (CAB) 25,000 people used the service in the last year. Total financial gains from their casework yielded £1.4 million. Benefit, employment housing and immigration enquiries were nearly 60% of all new issues represented. 15% of users considered themselves disabled and 34% from an ethnic minority group. 46% of clients were from postcode areas MK1-6. CAB continues to run three franchises and has annual audits from the Legal Services Commission, NACAB and CLS. Welfare benefits, Employment and Immigration have all received the LSC Specialist Quality Marks. The Service is increasingly focusing on initiatives to better target resources to those people already on the margins of society. This year they have secured funding from the Home Office for a prison project at Woodhill. Seen as a model of excellence, this is an innovative project and works with prisoners who are at Woodhill short term and those people on their run up to release. The work at Moorlands and Bletchley has proved successful and will continue. Additionally, CAB are running a regular afternoon session in Wolverton. A service is also run from the Grove Surgery in Netherfield funded by the PCT. Evidence is emerging that suggests the number of client visits to GPs is falling and could be related to issues being picked up by CAB. CAB is funded to provide a money advice service. Final details are being put together in a Partnership Agreement that will identify each party’s expectations. This initiative will be supported by an appointment only service to people on the verge of eviction and seeking final advice.

  • ANNEX to ITEM 18 19 January 2001 Helen Smith Valuation & Estates
    ANNEX TO ITEM 18 19 January 2001 Helen Smith Valuation & Estates Manager Resources Directorate Milton Keynes Council PO Box 114 Civic Offices 1 Saxon Gate East Central Milton Keynes MK9 3HW Dear Helen Re: Milton Keynes Stadium Further to our ongoing discussions, it is now necessary to move matters forward with Milton Keynes Council and English Partnerships in order to provide a relocating club with the legal certainty it requires before any firm commitment to move will be possible. This structure is necessary to prevent the ‘cart and horse’ problems of relocation, providing certainty on the one hand for the Council and English Partnerships that a football club is part of the conditions and for the football club on the other that planning permission will be obtained. I am pleased to detail below a summary of recent progress, particularly with regard to the national press speculation linking Wimbledon FC’s search for a permanent home with the Milton Keynes stadium development. Speculation regarding the potential relocation of Wimbledon Football Club has recently reached fever pitch, with stories appearing in the national news media including lead back cover features in the Evening Standard and the Guardian, together with London BBC TV, Radio 5 and all the local media. Milton Keynes even had its first ever mention on Match of the Day. In response to the Wimbledon relocation issue, the Football League have recently gone on the record to say that the Board would consider an application by a Football League club for a relocation to Milton Keynes. A spokesperson went further to describe Wimbledon as a "wandering club" in need of a home after ten years outside of their borough at Selhurst Park.
