The BID proposal received strong support from businesses, with nearly 97% voting in favour. This renewal grants MyMiltonKeynes a new mandate to continue its work from 2027 to 2032, focusing on enhancing the city centre's appeal and supporting local employers.
A Business Improvement District is a business-led partnership that allows local organisations to influence area development. Businesses contribute financially to a dedicated fund, which is used to deliver projects and services that complement those provided by public bodies, aiming to create a cleaner, safer, and more attractive city centre.
Since its establishment, Milton Keynes City Council has collaborated with MyMiltonKeynes and local businesses, supporting numerous projects that have strengthened the city centre as a place for work, visits, and investment. Over £11 million has been invested through MyMiltonKeynes since 2017, funding security, public realm improvements, marketing, events, and major projects.
The successful ballot ensures this work will continue as Milton Keynes grows. The funding will support further city centre enhancements, improve the experience for residents, workers, and visitors, back local employers, attract investment, and maintain Central Milton Keynes as a vibrant destination for shopping, leisure, culture, and business.
In collaboration with the city council and other partners, MyMiltonKeynes will continue to deliver projects that make a tangible difference, contributing to a city centre that is clean, safe, welcoming, and prepared for the future.
