The City of Milton Keynes is a unitary authority area with both borough and city status, in Buckinghamshire.[3] It is the northernmost district of the South East England Region. The borough abuts Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and the remainder of Buckinghamshire.[a]
The principal built-up area in the borough is the Milton Keynes urban area, which accounts for about 20% of its area and 90% of its population. The borough also includes many rural areas surrounding the Milton Keynes urban area (especially to the north), containing several villages and the town of Olney. At the 2021 census, the population of the unitary authority area was just over 287,000.[4]
History
The district was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the whole area of four former districts and part of a fifth, which were all abolished at the same time:[5]
- Bletchley Urban District
- Newport Pagnell Urban District
- Newport Pagnell Rural District
- Winslow Rural District (part within the designated New Town area only, rest went to Aylesbury Vale)
- Wolverton Urban District
The new district was named Milton Keynes (after its largest settlement).[6] The district was given borough status from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.[7]
As established in 1974, the borough of Milton Keynes was one of five non-metropolitan districts of Buckinghamshire, with Buckinghamshire County Council providing county-level services to the area. On 1 April 1997, Milton Keynes became a self-governing unitary authority by being redefined as its own non-metropolitan county, independent from Buckinghamshire County Council.[8] Milton Keynes remains part of the ceremonial county of Buckinghamshire for the purposes of lieutenancy.[9]
On 15 August 2022, letters patent were issued giving the borough the status of a city, allowing the council to change its name to Milton Keynes City Council.[3]
Local government
Arising from the local government elections of May 2024, the borough is governed by a Labour administration. The Liberal Democrat party is the main opposition group.
In the 2024 Labour gained 4 seats to become the majority party, having previously been part of a joint Labour-Lib-Dem run administration.
Economy
According to data from the Office for National Statistics for 2017, the borough was the highest performing NUTS3 region in the UK outside inner London (which takes the first five places), on the basis of gross value added per head.[10]
Education
Further education in the borough is provided by Milton Keynes College. For higher education, the Open University's headquarters are in Milton Keynes – though, as this is a distance education institution, the only students resident on campus are approximately 200 full-time postgraduates. A campus of the University of Bedfordshire located in Central Milton Keynes, provides conventional undergraduate courses.
Cranfield University is the academic partner in project with Milton Keynes City Council to establish a new university, code-named "MK:U", on a reserved site in the city centre.[11] As of January 2022[update], the project is stalled pending assurance of government funding.[12]
Demographics
Population
At the 2021 census, the population of the borough was 287,060.[4] This was an increase of 15.3% from the 2011 census, when the population of the borough was 248,821.[15] By 2050, the City Council projects that the borough's population will reach 410,000.[16]
